Hello

I am building a computer for gaming, graphic design, 3d animation making and 2d animation making.

Which will be better for me, i5, i7 or i7 socket 79? I dont want to have to spend lots of money but want something that will good for what I want to do.

i7-2600k (socket 1155)

for graphic design and animation the x79 with the extra cores should be better

though much more expensive so for a reasonable budget i would agree with amuffin the 2600k as you still

have the hyperthreading
