[newcomputerguy]

which one would be a better option this one or the one posted earlier

 

[garrettk4]

Go with Core i5 and a case with a window he said above guys.

 

[newcomputerguy]

So i should just go with the i5 instead of the i7? and thank you

 

[TheBigTroll]

yes go i5

 

[azeem40]

Yes, an i5 is more reasonable for gaming. HT can hurt fps sometimes.

 

[newcomputerguy]

thank you guys
