I'm looking at the Lenovo Y series and wanted to know how much of an impact an i7 will have in gaming.

Will I be able to play games like Crysis 3, BF4 multiplayer an Metro last light, using an i5 4200 M coupled with SLI 750s? Or is a dual core just not good enough?

The i5 model is going for $850 on newegg and Amazon and that seems like a steal considering it comes with 2 750s. The SLI i7, however, is around $1200. So I guess what I'm wondering is if the i7 is worth the extra $350.

If i7 is really necessary for the games mentioned above, then I'd probably have to go with a single GT 755.
