Yeah I have it installed but it won't play my movie DVD's.

I play on windows 8.1 and it has always worked perfectly. Much better than other systems from what I read on the forums.ers101284b14_ESO wrote: »Scrap windows 8 go with windows 7 get an I7
i actually switched out my i7 for a different one due to the fact i7 is not ment for gaming. and i saw a massive improvement in doing so.
And your point is? I used to sell 1GB harddrives for 3000 DM (Deutsch Mark for those currency challenged) and people were lined up around the corner to get them.I thought this was in pounds. I paid £1300 for my first built to spec 20 years ago!
i actually switched out my i7 for a different one due to the fact i7 is not ment for gaming. and i saw a massive improvement in doing so.Who told you that? "i7" covers a vast array of chips, and many of them run every modern game without a hitch. Mine certainly does, and at ~3-4 years old it's one of the earlier 2nd gen i7's (2600k @4.5ghz).
Thus far, my bottleneck has universally proven to be my GPU.
I believe what you're referring to is single core performance. Games with no multithreading, lets say Neverwinter Nights 2 for example, can only address a single CPU core. Since the i7's are made with multithreading in mind, their per-core performance is often sub-par to modern dual-core chips built specifically for per-core performance.
In every other way, they are superior.
No one told me, i experienced it for my self. just because its new does not mean that it is better. Then again i do remember you Sarenia, we never saw eye to eye and i can see we still wont.

I built a computer for 800 and it runs EVERY game to date on max. and guess what its not running an I7. Even ESO runs on max and looks great. massive battles no lag, More HDD space then i know what to do with. In the end buying the BEST thing in the world sometimes is the same as being savvy and knowing what to buy and when to buy it to make the rig cheaper. But what do i know i only build computers for a living.

I replaced it with I5 4670k and it runs well, though make sure to get a bored to go with the chip socket. its the best for your money. and AVOID AMD for the love of god.
was the i7-4770K, despite all that i tried it would not run as good as my I5. I still have it and plan on using it for my other PC but for the amount of games i play and stream it was not cutting it. Now if you don't mind paying extra money (as some people don't mind) i would go for i7-3770K. I sadly built this rig on a limit, and honestly 800 was just enough for it. And i also play Elite Dangerous and have no issues running it. Must say very stunning game and i cant wait till its fully released.
Looks like Intel fans seem to forget that PS4 and XBone are using AMD hardware...both CPU and GPU.
