[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1807450, member: 110816"] For a while, the big difference was that i5s were dual-core while i7 was quad-core. That is no longer the case, and based on your use case, you will find little to no difference between the i5 and i7. Additionally, the i5 is no less future proof as the i7. At the end of the day, it won't be the i5 or i7 CPU that will force your hand to upgrade, but some other hardware or more likely software. [/QUOTE]
