i5 or i7?

[Frederik Buchwald Busk]

So i'm upgrading my cpu and its either going to be an i5-4690K or an i7-4790K im buying. I have the money for i5 but is worth waiting so that i can buy the i7 instead. I'm also going to be updating my gpu to a gtx 980.

What are you going to be doing?

 

If you can wait, having the horsepower is never a "bad" thing. But just remember, most games will play just as well on the i5 as on the i7. 

[Arwanell]

if you are a gamer, there is no need for waiting for i7

[WoodenMarker]

It depends on what the system is being used for.

[Curry]

If you're only gaming then go for the i5. i7 if you plan to do content creation/editing and a fair amount of multitasking.

Some Editing? I7's hypher thredding is good for rendering but the i5 is just slower rendering.

if light video editing or rendering, then an i5 will do you just fine.

 

unless it's HEAVY video editing and rendering then go for the i7.

Go i5 now.. if you find when you go to college the difference in what your using is worth an upgrade, I'm sure you won't have a problem selling the i5 and picking up a used i7 for less difference. (Assuming thats not going to be this September)

Go for the 4790K
