Circo April 8, 2012 Share April 8, 2012 Here are my thoughts, especially for a dedicated gaming rig, stick with the i5. The big difference between the i5 vs the i7 is hyper threading. This gives you a great boost when doing tasks such as video editing but hardly any difference when gaming.In almost every respect the i5 2500 will give you the same real world performance as the i7 2600. You can max out mame and just about everything else while saving $100. Sandy bridge ftw!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brolly June 1, 2012 Share June 1, 2012 I'd never buy an ATI card you're only asking for trouble, if you intend to run Type X games you'll be really lucky if you don't run into several issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
