And here I was going back and forth on whether or not I would upgrade from an i5 to and i7. The minimal gains (for what I'll be doing anyway), probably won't justify the cost.

Any i5 quad-core is more than enough for games.

Yeah, I was starting to fall for the "i7 is teh GAMING CPU" hype from Intel.
