I'm drooling on your setup. But yea get the I7 since you can use it longer and for more variety. Altho games are fine w/o HTs. You can save money by downgrading your videocard from your current setup to GTX 670 or 660Ti. I'm using GTX 660 only and I can play this game at all max setting. Although I might tone down some of the settings just to be sure lolz. a GTX 670 is well above what this game needs
