An i5 will outperform an i7 in most cases for gaming simply because of the "simplicity" behind it. unless you're doing AutoCAD or grapic design with tons of rendering, the i7 isn't needed at all. Spend the money saved on a beastly GPU or water cooling solution.
That is not a bad idea and extra cash could go towards a 1080 or something

We need a fourth for PD2! I have a copy ready to gift (I think) when you get a steam account.

If all you're going to do is play WOW or CS:Go, a basic $400 gaming rig will be more than enough for your needs. if you plan to play BF1 or FarCry4 at ultra settings with tons of pretty mods, you'll need to spend a solid $800+ for consistent fps.

No argument there. I definitely got VERY lucky. If I hadn't seen him as early as I did the car would be a convertible right now!

That's pretty cool I didn't know they were coming out with it. Would have definitely picked one up for $59. I'm not a gamer but would be fun to sit down with the kids and hammer on the controllers every now and then. Pretty cheap entertainment.
