Cool! They overclock like mad. Or will you just be running stock?

I'll overclock it a the best I can with the cooling I'll be using. For now its going to have a old H80 until I can upgrade the water 2.0 in Chibi PC and give it that.

Couldn't help but lol after reading this whole debate and seeing a certain someone change their claims like 5 times..

Me: Yeah I just really can't get my H220 working again, I've tried everything that was suggested in the forum.

Brian (Swiftech Support): Hmm, have you tried slapping it?

The windows 8.1 ony needs a max of 30GB right? Then the other 90GB can hold a few games.At least this is how I know.

You can't just subtract the numbers, you have to remember that a computer doesn't see a 120Gb drive as 120, it's more like 110Gb. And I have gotten a 8.1 to be 18Gb in a VM.

I have a 120 in my build and after OS, recovery, and all my programs I have about 50Gb left.

As for the OPs question, I would go with the I5 if it's primarily for gaming. In my opinion, the only reason to go up to the I7 is for hyper threading and that's really only useful in video rendering, VM hosts, etc...
