Hi
Would it be better to by a non-OC i7 over an overclockable i5? Which setups do you think is more future proof? (not strictly for gaming but also work as office and maybe some photoshop)

I am building my first and probably last pc. As now am interested in full HD games (for 2-3 years) but i would like a rig that i can use also for work in 5-6 years without any major upgrades.
 
Solution
Overall I7 will do better as it has hyper threading but if you're not going to OC might as well get a 1231-V3 i think they run at the same speed anyway and will save you some money
