At the time I am using a 2 core intel processor at 1.86. I also have 8 Gig memory in my desktop and 4 gig in my laptop The desktop is also a dual core, but an AMD. System is down at present. Please help me out. I need a new gaming system.
There really is no point in getting an I7 for gaming since you aren't going to make use of the hyperthreading. You're better of getting an I5 and putting the money to the money you saved to something else like a video card.

Some games do use the extra cpu threads. But if the OP looking for the best. i7. But like you said by looking at what the OP have right now, even an i5 might be out of his/her price range for a new system.
More information is needed OP. What is your budget? It appears the system you are using is quite old. What games do you play and what performance do you expect (FPS, 1080p, etc.)?
