Even in games using more threads, the i5 still wins. BF4 can utilize 8 threads, but the i5 still beats it, and usually by quite a bit.

And only 8GB of RAM is needed for gaming. Even the most demanding games won't put you over 6GB of RAM usage.

To add, you would need an Intel Socket 1150 motherboard to use an i5, the motherboard above is strictly for AMD CPUs.
