Core i5-4460 vs Core i7-4790s for gamming

isadoragrevan · Mar 4, 2016

Hi all,
i want to build a budget gamming pc, although they work at 3.2 Ghz, i know the i7 is better overall, but do you think the difference in price (more than 50%) is worth it?
With that money saved i can get a better graphic card, is it a good idea?
Thanks

The difference between the i7 and the i5 is marginal. It's usually a solution to buy an unlocked i5 and overclock it to i7 clocks or buy a Xeon if you need HyperThreading. But yes for gaming, save the money and get an i5 with a better GPU.

no, the i5 won't bottleneck any GPU.
the i7 has got hyper threading over the i5, with other words the i7 is only useful when you are going to stream and/or video edit a lot.
for gaming it doesn't make a difference.
