Hey everyone. I’m looking to buy two gaming pcs for my kids this year. I’ve been eyeing up this one from Best Buy for a while now, but I had some concerns.
When I went to buy it from them, the employee warned me against buying this one. He had previously purchased it in the past, and it apparently crashed every single time he started a game. He even brought it back to the store and tried a different tower, and still had the same problem.
Is it worth it in the long run to go for an I7, or will a newer I5 be just as good? I have a four year old Acer Nitro with an I5 that’s just starting to be not good enough to run the newer games.
Just looking for advice on this. Don’t want to buy something that’s already not good enough. Thanks.

Hello hoogie52, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!
