For an extra $200.00 is it worth getting the i7 over the i5 for game development?

    First up, buying a whole new machine when you've already got a perfectly reasonable one is not "saving" money.

    Secondly, this implies a classic "performance first" mindset that has no basis in actually getting work done. For example, what if someone needs to deploy to iOS devices? A PC isn't "faster" at that.
