what made you way that gpu

 

[badboyzen]

is there a huge diffrence between i5 and i7 proccesors.

 

[beejjacobs]

That GPU has great performance for its price, and overclocks very nicely
How to overclock a 7850 past 1050MHz?

The difference between the i5 and i7 is hyperthreading, so heavily threaded applications can perform faster on an i7. Though an overclocked i5 is still very fast.

For rough comparison:
i5 2500K vs i7 2600K

Bare in mind that weekly deals change tomorrow morning, so you're best checking back again for a new spec. Though this gives you can idea of what you can get.

Yeah man thanks a lot.
