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.

Well in two or three years that will change I guess and Core i7 will be better for games than i5... that's all about how much time you want to hold your config before to change.
