I'm making a build that I will primarily use for gaming and some school work. I like my games in max settings and great fps. Will this build be able to handle 1080p or higher on most games today? I have my monitors that I will be using. I also have the OS and other software needed for this build. The games I play are usually First Person Shooter and adventure. Thanks in advance for any help.

I do plan on OC this build I've never done it before. Any tips on OC would help a lot also.

The difference between the i7 and i5 is the amount of threads. The i7 has more threads than the i5, which helps with video editing, rendering, 3D modelling, etc, but it makes no difference in gaming.

That makes a whole lot of sense. That'll save me roughly 100 US dollars.
