So, i know that in all aspects Intel is so much better than Amd, but then again i am new to pc gaming. Im am also not willing to spent a fortune on an i7 at the moment but eventually i am going to want something of that power. Right now i am planning to go with the x4 860k and an rx 470 4gb, hoping that the althalon wont bottleneck the gpu. Should i stick with the athalon for some light to moderate gaming and skip and i5 in the future and jump straight into an i7 later, or should i spend the extra money and get the i5 now instead of the 860k now?
 
Solution
For gaming an i5 is all you need. I would buy it now and never concern myself with the i7.

If budget is a concern an i3-6100 is also a good chip for gaming and would pair well with a RX 470.
