Do you stream, edit videos or do anything like that? If not, and you're just going for gaming then you can stay with the i5 CPU!

Although you'll have to ask someone else about the wireless adapter!

Yeah they swapped out the controller for a much slower one recently after all the reviews so please go with an SanDisk or a Samsung drive, you'll be doing yourself a favour :D
