Things changed, now PCs are like video game consoles, they rely on the GPU and Rams
No, PCs are still PCs. You still have operations that require extra processing power. It boils down to what you really want to do on your computer. If you only use it for light activities and gaming, a Corei5 is enough. Get the Corei7 if you do 3D rendering (Cinema4D, Maya, Max) or video rendering. Or even you're a power user that opens hundreds of files and apps at the same time.
But for the love of God, do not ever say a PC is like a video game console. Things like this can get you killed :)
