Apparently the i5 is better suited for gaming with some tweaks than the i7.
I'm quite out of touch with 'good shit' in terms of hardware but if you really want something built properly head to /v/ or /g/ and ask for recommendations, or just lurk.
I really can't talk about good tech, highest spec gear i've ever had is a dual core, ddr2 6gb business class desktop and unfortunately that thing doesn't take pcie. I work on some of the newer stuff all the time though, in the hands of idiots it performs just terrible.
Got the money but... i dunno, always holding out for better.
