Why you really don't need to buy in i7 CPU for gaming (or even an i5).

I have an i5 2500k, though I chose that one specifically so I had the option to run PS2/Wii emulators with a good framerate no matter the game. If wasn't bothered about emulators I probably would have bought a cheaper CPU and put the money into a better graphics card.
