got a few questions.

well to begin i wanna make a pc build for my MMO gameplay. i have build a pc a couple months ago on a smaller budget and the pc works fine but i was already planning to build another on a bigger budget at that time.

my real question is what budget shud i be looking at for a top end build and would an i7 be worth it over an i5 strictly for mmos as they are proccessor intensive rather then graphic intensive.

atm my budget is sitting at 1500$ not more. at least until next month. would i need more then that or?

If you're in the US and the budget is in US dollars, then $1500 is plenty enough to get a high end gaming computer, provided that you don't need new peripherals and don't have unusual needs.

Nope is the answer you are looking for.

i5 all the way my friend - as although the games are CPU intensive they will not use hyperthreading and/or more than 4 cores for the forseable future, so unless you are doing some hardcore video editing/programming/running lots of VMs then you have no need for an i7 - use the money on a better gfx card and psu.

TBH $1000 - $1200  should be fine - $1500 will allow you a good |SSD and anything else you need

nop i dont need new peripherals as of yet anyways. also would i need liquid cooling to overclock an i5 thinking around 4.5 ghz. oh and yes im in the USA and the budget is in US dollars.
