It is definitely worth it. However, i5 is good too. I highly recommend i7, though. |

Grandmas: i3 Surfers: i5 Gamers: i7 or i7 extreme (really not much different, just for the brag)
You can also wait 2 years for the new ones that will make the i7 extreme look like nothing. |

i5 if you want a standard processor good for internet and programs.
i7 if you want a elite processor that can run like liquid helium. |

Oh yeah, and I can recommend you to get a 500 graphic card or higher (nVidia system). I have a 330 and it's outdated in two years.
Also at least 4GB of RAM. |

@KamikazePanda Are you living in the stone age? Laptops can play Battlefield 3 on ultra graphics. It's all about the equipment. I have a laptop i7 and I can play Skyrim on decent graphics without lag while my friends qq about lag on the lowest graphics. |

I will go for i7.
Laptop is very handy for me, being able to move it easily. But A PC sounds good too. I'm going to encase it in a transparent plastic case and make it liquid cooled. yus. |

| There is only a ONE PERCENT difference between a i5 2500k and a i7 2600k in gaming. if you're planning to edit videos, get a i7 but if you're plannig on gaming get the i5 2500k. excellent proccesor. trust me |
