P55 Budget system build 1k
Budget Price $850
__________________Building another computer for another friend. Okay, I'm struggling between getting the i5 or the i7 CPU. I'll be purchasing the CPU at micro center. For a few bucks more, I can get the i7 is not that much more expensive. Another issue is what heatsink should I get, its between the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 or the Dark Knight. Thanks OCN like always.

Both of those heatsink's are pretty similar, but i'd recommend the dark knight because it is generally quieter, and it uses screws to latch on rather then the brackets.
As for the processor, i see no reason to not put a little bit extra out to get it i7. From what i've seen, it's generally a faster processor.
