well kid, skipping school is not a favorable option for you. 

am currently done a level 4 hnc in electrical and electronic engineering but u know what ever

This seems like a short sighted viewpoint. Most likely the GPU will be outdated quite quickly and will need to be replaced anyways. When that happens they will be glad they got the i7. This is not to say getting an i5 with a better gpu isn't a bad decisions I'm just saying there is merit to both options. 

 

that's the point we are trying to make a i7 2600k can keep up with a i7 6700k in most games while a i5 6600k is long gone.

that's really nice, want a cookie or something for your effort also mech engineering is better

Just go between, cheap up on the motherboard and cooling and get the locked i7 7700.

Glad we got this info I asked a while back haha

 

That bundle doesn't make sense, theyre offering a locked CPU with an over clocking board. I would if you can afford it go with a 7700k and a cheaper z series board, 16gb is the sweet spot now for gaming rigs, BF1 for me at 1440P uses 9.5gb vram.

yep proving yr not into overclocking

The thing is, the 7700 will outperform the overclocked i5 any ways, so unless you can afford the 7700k you're better off getting the locked 7700 instead of overclocking the i5.

OP was considering a locked CPU, we could assume overclocking isn't a hobby

What does this have to do with the i7 vs i5 discussion?

i did assume this thats y i sort of asked and i just wanted to make it known just coz its funny how he is arguing with me about somthin thats my career   note he gone silent 

[edwin1314]

Yea i havent messed around with overclocking

i have gone silent? buddy i got a job second i got out of school, i work in a aerospace field with a good salary, we are not comparable. insecurity screams loudest.

I am not that guy nor am I an engineering student, but I would like a cookie any way.

The 7700 would be a good step up from the 8350, if you do not plan on overclocking the locked i7 is a great choice.

if that doesn't interest you, go with a h270 board and a 7700 (non k) and yes you will need DDR4 as your current DDR3 won't be compatible

Just because you are doing HNC electronics doesn't mean you know about i5/i7 (I'm not saying you don't) sure you will be able to explain how capacitance varies and how different materials effect resistance and current flow, even how transistors work, but not necessarily tech - I'm a helicopter engineer, doesn't mean I know more about car and power steering than a petrol head

just making a point and u started it as well just sayin

LOL because we are all feel like its relevant to tell everyone our back story. I am currently studying Game Design. Also the reason I am upgrading is because all the old parts are going to be put into another computer and sold

well actually you can, I know for a fact - however you cant be licensed due to courses required, but you can sure be employed as a fitter/trainee

that's really cool, a 7700k would be better than especially for photoshop or just rendering.

no licence no insurance yr not aloud on site only in offices and things like that or training in college/uni

Did you read what I do for a living? I'm a helicopter engineer. We have trainees on the aircraft all the time - its called 100% supervision, how do you think people get qualified? The license just gives the theory not the experience - also, not all areas of aeronautical engineering require a licence
