For gaming an i5 is more than enough, if you are planning to do use more CPU intensive application you could consider the i7. An ssd is not essential, it depends on your budget.

The i5 is the better choice for gaming in my opinion,an SSD will speed up boot times and loading apps,but is not essential

Sorry to jump in your thread but does ssd effect anything other than load times while gaming online/offline?

Ah ok.

Id love an ssd but already spending £1000+ so a 1tb caviar black will do for now

They are a really easy upgrade you can do yourself. less than 5 minutes of work, and you can pick up a cheap 64 gb boot drive for less than £70
