(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So me and my friend were having a discusion about what the best processor for gaming is and i said it was the i5 2500k he then told me to wise up and said that the best processor out there was the i7 980x. Now personally i think the i5 is the better processor when it comes down to gaming but for overall proformance the i7 has it. Im looking for someone who knows what they are talking about to let me know what your opnion is on this.

i5 should be good enough for gaming. Instead of using i7 save that on your video card.
