i7 uses triple channel. There's no such thing as a dual channel i7 board. Why 3 optical drives anyway? Surely even if you're copying disks, you just need two drives... Could even just save an image, and then reburn at a later date. Waste of money really. What are you going to be using this PC for? Are the HDD's for Raiding? If so, you should be getting smaller ones to save money (2TB ...

The reason why the I5 is faster in games is something to do with the I7's hyperthreading, slows it down with games thus the i5 performs better. Your getting really good advice here and it seems to me like your allready set at what you want, so this thread is a bit pointless.

Yeah, it is the Hyperthreading of an i7 that slows it down for gaming... Basically, Hyperthreading means that unused processing power is used to try and process another thread per core. This means the i7 can technically process up to 8 threads. This means 8 threads worth of calculations are in the chips 7MB L3 cache. (1MB of the total 8 is used to hold a copy of the L2). That leaves less ...

Ok but some one previously said to me that an I7 overclocked would surpass the I5 for gaming as well, i always had in mind to learn how to clock it but is this information true? an ty for the answer i was looking for SMAndy.

A stock i5 is more than enough for gaming and both can be overclocked (I've trundled my i5 to 4.4GHz but the gains vs downsides of overclocking are fairly pointless for games so I use 3.6GHz), you're not getting any further ahead by comparing an overclocked i7 to an i5.
