I will also chime in and state that you don't need an i7 and explain why.

An i5 and i7 are essentially identical processors. The difference is, the i7 comes with a slightly higher base clock [which just means you'd have to change your i5 clock by .1 ghz to get it to be the same]

The i7 also has a feature called hyper threading, which basically turns 1 of the cores into a simulated 2 core. This is great for applications that can use this technology such as many high end professional applications that have to do with various forms of encoding.

Video games however do not use this technology, so literally you'd be getting a 100-150 dollar feature for no benefit. With your relatively small cash budget [small for i7] and even smaller requirement window [my toaster can run those games] I would definitely bump down to an i5.

l3 cache too,

I dont see the problem he asked for i7 is it worth it to him we dont know

it does have its benefits on multitasking, especially if you are having alot of programs running while gaming

well he states that he doesn't want a lot of shit running in the background, and only what's required, minimum as possible. A game, a browser, and mumble or vent.
Surprised he didnt want 32 gb of ram to go along with his i7 he has no idea what it's for but just wants the i7 for its i7. lel

& basically tells rapture to fuck off after he's trying to just help, and exposing his multi. :rofl:
