Hey guys!!!! this is my first thread here. I decided to come here because i always get redirected here off googling tech stuff. I figured it was a legit place. Not a lot of spamming going on and the users seem to be fairly up to date and knowledgeable about technical questions, anyways here goes!!!
I am looking to buy a new computer (not build because of the minimal price difference).
I am going to use this computer for gaming ONLY. (minues internet use and what have you)
I was wondering if the i5 750 would be better for gaming over an i7, considering, from what i have heard, that the hyperthreading in the i7's does not get taken advantage of in most games.
Will i see any differences in performance while using an i5 750 over an i7?
Also, while i am here. paired with the i5 750 (if it is a better choice) or the i7, would a 1gb 5870 or 5970 be a better choice of a gpu. This is considering i will be playing on a 24inch monitor or smaller. Obviously the 5970 will pump more power, but will i see the difference and/or will it effect my gaming while using a 24inch monitor or smaller?
Thanks ahead of time and i look forward to hearing what you guys have to say =]
