What are you using it for? Also, probably the wrong category 

[Aytex]

Are you scrictly gaming or gaming+rendering+streaming?

[Howlingwolf101]

If it's for gaming, the i5 combo would be better, if you're doing video/music/picture editing than you'll want the i7 otherwise an i7 for gaming is overkill and you'd be better off with an i5 and a 980

if your maybe video editing, thats not good enough reason.

you need to be 100% sure on spending $100 more

 

Keep in mind you will get a better preformance increase from the 980 than the 970 with the i7  on gaming ,EVEN if the i7 is overclocked

depends on the games he plays `-`

some games utilise cpu and ignores gpu (poorly optimised games)

If your talking about an example like arma 3 the better graphics card still gets more frames

 

but at the end of the day we're all gonna get fucking 20 fps in kavala

im talking about games like the mmorpg Dragon Nest `-`

it utilise my cpu and only use about 20% of my gpu, and its a stuttery mess when graphics get tough (and GFE recommends me to set settings to high)

if ur "planning" i would wait till next gen GPUs
