So I've just gotten a new desktop to move on from laptop but now I have started to have second thoughts on my decision if this is worth it. I settled for I5 since i thought I7 was mostly for streaming or modeling, the former is mainly for budget. Now I'm not entirely sure if processors themselves are the main thing to consider since there are also graphics cards. My desktop has much higher graphics card which i should be fine enough. I did intend to move onto the desktop phase to play the games that ran mediocre on my old pc to get a smoother experience. course it would depend on what games i would be playing but I'm not really gonna set them up on the highest settings, i'm looking for the reliable performance. I could consider maybe upgrading processor at a future date but would that be still worth it?
Is i5 a better compromise than i7? Should i keep the i5 processor or consider upgrading later?
