hmm ok so I dropped the sound card, dropped down to 8 GB RAM, and replaced the i7 processor with that Ivy i5 and successfully lowered the price by $200. Can anyone please explain whats so special about this i5 though, I always thought the i7 was better?

Hey everyone, Im absolutely in love with this game but sadly my gaming laptop isnt cutting it for me performance/graphics-wise. So Im buying a new PC but at $1500 its quite expensive for me so if I can trim the price down a bit thatd be great! Heres the basic specs,

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-3820 Quad-Core 3.60 GHz 10MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011 (All Venom OC Certified)
HDD: 2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)
MEMORY: 16GB (2GBx8) DDR3/1600MHz Quad Channel Memory (Corsair or Major Brand)
MOTHERBOARD: (3-Way SLI Support) ASUS P9X79 LE Intel X79 Chipset Quad Channel DDR3 ATX w/ UEFI Bios, Remote GO!, 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, USB3.0, SATA-III RAID, 3 Gen3 PCIe X16, 2 PCIe X1 & 1 PCI (All Venom OC Certified)
SOUND: ASUS Xonar DS 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Audio Card
VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 2GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card (EVGA FTW Edition)

^^so is that overkill for this game? Or is it not enough. Just fyi I want to run this beautiful game at max settings so take that into consideration. Thanks in advance!
