Is i7 860 worth the extra price over i5 750

[parth_g]

i m planning to upgrade my computer.
i cant decide on i5 750 vs 17 860
i m currently tilting towards i5 since i m not sure that with just HT enabled the 870 is worth that extra money

i would use my computer fr casual gaming and applicatins like dreamweaver, visual studio , photoshop

I am inclined to say no.

Judge it yourself!

The difference will be even smaller if you are playing at 1920x1200!
