I know there have been several thread concerning this topic, but my question is a specific one, not just a general comparison.
Current system:
MSI P55A-G55 mobo
Intel i5 760
4GB RAM
GTX 580 1.5GB
Im looking at upgrading my mobo to a Asus P8P67 Pro Rev.3 and my CPU to either an i5-2500k or an i7-2600k purely for the reason of playing Battlefield: 3.
With this agenda in mind;
is spending an extra £100 on the i7 worth it? or would I see more of an improvement by buying the i5 and spending the money saved on upgrading to 8GB of RAM instead?
Thanks,
Joe
