Nice specs

Only thing that would make it abit better would be an i7  

People there recommended me the i5. I dunno why.

Yeah, there are some i7's that are better for your needs. How much did you spent?

Very nice.
i5 is enough, imo.

800.

The i7 is definatelly a welcome addition as far as CPU-Intensive tasks are concerned, such as encrypting, decrypting, encoding, decoding, compressing, uncompressing and so on and so forth... but for gaming? Hell, you could have an i3.

As long as your gaming rig has a relatively good GPU, you are IN THE CLEAR, 100%. Most calculations when it comes to 3D games are done by the GPU, not the CPU, so don't rely on it and don't buy into the "quad-core" craze as the two cores of a quad-core have a pleasant nap most of the time - not all software is properly prepared for multicore operation. Hell, not all software takes full advantage of x64 architectures altogether. CPU's are the least important part of a Gaming Rig as of today. More is always welcome to make the PC operate smooth, but definatelly isn't a necessity.

My laptop's better

• Intel Core i7-2630QM 2GHz quad core with turbo boost to 2.9GHz, 6MB,
  
• 6GB DDR RAM
  
• 750GB HD
  
• AMD Radeon HD 6650M, up to 4854MB hypermemory

My willy is bigger than yours
