I3 vs i5

[pks55555]

Hello,

what to choose i3 vs i5? no serious gaming or photo editing stuff. just for watching movie, web surfing and some cpu intensive applications like lotus, oracle etc..

Based on your usage, even i3 is an overkill but that's always good to have more headroom.

Overclock it to best performance if you find it unsatisfied someday.
