For the most part, a core i5 will run Minecraft just as well as a core i7. The only reason why you would want a core i7 is if you are planning on running software that needs a lot of processing power. A Core i5 will be more than enough for most games, since games rely more on your graphics than on the processor.

Ahh ok

So an icore 5 should suffice, if all i run is minecraft and Microsoft offoce.

Thanks bud

I agree with jd my laptop is a core i5 and runs just fine with optifine and a 3D texture pack

For sure, core i5 will run Minecraft and Office just fine. Feel free to send me a pm if you have any more questions, by the way ;)

Thanks fellas!

If you are still considering between the two, I would definitely recommend an i7, or at least a higher i5... You can tell the difference, if you get a less powerful i5 series processor.

You wouldn't notice the difference for Minecraft and MS Office, though. Based on how he's using it, the extra money spent wouldn't be worth it.

If he plans on doing anything besides that, he could tell. There's a definite difference between an i5-6400 vs an i7-6700k.. But I guess if its only because of money reasons get the crappier i5 lol

The difference between a i5-6400 vs a i7-6700k? You could definitely tell the difference between them if running multiple heavy processor programs... such as both of what you mentioned

MS Office is not a heavy processor program - an i3 could run MS office just as easily as an i7. My laptop has an i5 cpu, and I can easily run 5 MC clients with a minimum of 100 fps. When you have an i5, your GPU will bottleneck games before the CPU ever does.

Same with 2 accounts for me but wait jd you have 5 accounts
