I have a couple of questions.

- Any reason why not to go with a I7 CPU? Is it not needed?
- Is there a difference between the 8GB that I currently have with my PC now and the one you listed above?
- Are there any parts that you would recommend upgrading to that will provide better performance with minimal additional cost? I know better quality parts are coming out daily and don't want to be too far behind the times from the start.

Thanks for the help once again. Like I said, I have very minimal knowledge with PC parts.

not needed in gaming. almost no difference at all between the best i5 and best i7 on the same socket.

fairly significant difference between 1333 and 1866 RAM. however, if on a budget keeping your current RAM would be a great money saver.
