Hey everyone!
I really need advise on buying a PC with my budget of $700 CAD. The main purpose for the PC would be to do Android programming and also some Java developing, which I know will require a good CPU. However, I'm debating between RAM and CPU, here are my two current options
Get an i7–4790 (@4.0 Ghz) with 8GB of RAM + 1TB HDD
Get an i5–6400 (@3.3Ghz) with 12GB of RAM + 1 TB HDD
Anything you would recommend! (Canada only)
The i7 is much faster than the i5 and that is what's holding me back. The base clock of the i5 is actually 2.7 Ghz, which is horrible. Whereas the i7 base clock is 3.4 Ghz. I preferably don't want to overclock as it'll create extra heat and noise. Aside from Android and Java programming, I'll probably have causal productivity applications; Office suite, Adobe suite and more for editing videos and images.
Please give me any possible advice on buying my developing/programming computer, I would really, really appreciate it!
