It'd tedious crap.
woah guys like I said I can afford an i7 but if there is no benefit to gaming then it there is not much point. It's about the smart choice/bang for buck.
If you've never had a GPU under water you'd probably not understand. I had 470's in sli watercooled silently running 40% core overclocks rock solid, it's really a beautiful thing. If I can get a 1080ti at 2ghz i'd love that and the more so if it's not limited in any way by an i5.
This thread has been of some use however, there are arguments for someone like me who doesn't adopt every new platform to consider the i7, if I can get one to 5ghz i'll be happy. No way am I going pre-binned though.
I've never spent so much on a CPU before, usually I get a £160-170 mobo and smililarly priced CPU! Things have changed...
