The main difference between an i5 and i7 is that the i7 has more threads and best suited when the user does video or photo editing. The i7 has 8 threads (hyperthreading) whereas the i5 has 4.What will you be doing other than gaming?
Well I have a mac that I could edit videos and pics on, the PC will be for gaming and some homework
