I´m about to get a Dell Inspiron 15 7000, which is a laptop that comes with Geforce GTX 960M. Should I got for the i5-6300HQ processor, or i7-6700HQ?

Will the difference be really noticeable for games? Isn´t the graphic card the main factor?

Thanks

It honestly depends on what you're doing. For games, I would personally recommend the i5. Unless you're doing something more than gaming such as streaming, editing/recording, etc. you won't see that much of a difference. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying that there isn't a difference there, but it won't be worth a $100 charge. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks. Indeed I just want some light gaming. Mostly old console emulators, up to PlayStation 2 era. Also some PC games like Guild Wars 2, Path of Exile, Diablo, and the likes. No plans on streaming or editing, also do not care to run games at max settings. I mostly play on PS4, the PC will be a supplement platform.

Sorry for the late reply. Athletics, school, life, the usual stuff :) . The i5 will definitely be enough for you for those games.
