Again... if you get the lowest model i7, you're getting a DOWNGRADE compared to the i5-2500k, for most purposes.
The i5-2500k will match or exceed the LOWEST model i7 for tasks like gaming. The tasks at which the lowest model i7 excels are those that can make extensive use of hyperthreading, like media production, as Nick said previously in this thread, tasks which you aren't interested in as a home user.
Oh really? I was unaware. Was it a particular company's?
