@raghav -- the core 2 duo proc in that config is the sux.

 

Quad core is a good idea if you are investing on a high end PC, yes i7 is not optimized for gaming but more on server side, but that does not make it less apt for gaming as a matter of fact i5 though optimized for gaming will still be a weaker proc compared to i7. its more to cut cost, the cheapest i5 will cost around 200$ where as cheapest i7 is 280$.

 

I will suggest you going for a gaimg rig either go with what yesh suggested or you hold on to i7 or else 1 yr down the lane you will say your proc is outdated(dude that proc just has 3 Mb L2 cache :P )

^^ even babloos said that i should wait for i5 if i wanna buy an icore proccy..

 

so i5 > i7 for gaming ? :P :P

 

 

theoretically .. NO

 

practically .. YES ...

 

i5 extreme edition shud cost u around 550$$

.... and i5 reasonable one @270$

....i5 entry level @179$(confirmed)

 

preliminary benchmarks stated that i5 entrylevel is better than i7 920 ....

 

since it use socket LGA1156 something(not sure) .. mobos are also kept at least cost....

 

but Id say ....better go for a mid-range X4 940 or quad Q9400 which will serve for atleast 5-6+ yrs
