I was thinking of getting a new pc. My budget is a little bit limited so I don't know which processor I should buy. I want this computer to last for 4-5 years or more if possible. The thing is that I don't know whether to buy an i7 4770 with a gtx 660 or an i5 4570 with a gtx 760. I want to play next-gen games (bf4, watch dogs...) but I'm just a casual gamer, I'm not concerned about playing games in ultra settings, with a medium-high quality I'll be just fine.

As far as I know, the best option for gaming is the i5 4570 and the gtx 760, but I will do some other tasks such as designing with CAD software, and I don't know if the 4 threads of the i5 are enough for me or I'll need the 8 threads of the i7 in the future.

Another thing I'm concerned of is that a graphics card will be easier to replace than the processor.

By the way, I don't have any intention of doing OC.
