MSI GX640 is a good choice

Everyone seems to like the MSI models, they must have a good reputation. Do you think there is a big difference between a i5 and a i7 core? Also is there a time in the year when things start to become cheaper because of new stuff?

 

[Maziar]

In most games/daily tasks, there isn't a big difference between them

 

[christiangordon]

Prices for the items today become cheaper when a newer model comes out.... you usually have to wait a good month.

Stock market also contributes to prices.... and well that doesn't look so good

So the MSI looks cool and it seems it will be fine for me, I was looking at this

http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220696

Or would you rather spend it on this http/www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6834152196

they both look good to me

They are both good but they are slower than MSI GX640/740 in gaming,because
5870M> 5850M> 5730M
