i5 or i7 for gamming

[infernocy]

which of them is good for middle gamming i5 2500k or i7 2600k ?

unless your realy going to be over clocking your better of getting a i5 2500 or i72600 you dont need the Kversions realy unless your thinking about over clocking. Again depends on budgets etc. But for mid range gaming imo a i5 2500 and a decent graphics card will go a long way.

i7...

I wrote out an explanation for you, but then I asked myself why should I put more effort into a reply than you did to a post.

so... i7...

Well the i5-2500 does outperform the i7-2600 in some games so it's the better value for money CPU.
