No reason for an i7 for gaming. Also, if he has to ask, he doesn't need a 'K' CPU. Something like an i5-4670 will do fine.

That's right. I'm not looking into overclocking.

I think it might be preferable for GTA V.

New Consoles got 8 cores CPU. 6 of them are used for games. I know that basically they are ULV processors, but i7's are quad core with HT. Which translates to 8 threads. I know that it is not the same as 8 physical cores, but it is close enough to console design. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I remember all core i5's are or dual-core HT, or quad-cores without HT.

Also the GTA V on PS3 and X360 refreshes physics 30 times per second - it will be increased to 60 times per second on PS4 and XBO - probably also on PC. (unless it will be a 7th gen port, or it might be refreshed every frame) Which included with increased numbers of cars on the streets, higher draw distance (which also means more objects to calculate physics, and more AI to handle) means much more load on the processor. That's why for GTA V core i7 might be preferable. It is not entirely sure how it will be optimized, but my guess is that game will prefer to have 6 threads.

Also future games might be often optimized for using 6 cores. Today there is almost none difference between core i5 and i7 in games. But in 12 to 24 months there will be, and in some titles it will be huge. (especially the poorly optimized PC ports) So if you want powerful gaming computer - I would recommend core i7.

There is no guarantee that it will be possible to run GTA V or The Crew on any PC on Ultra in FullHD or higher resolution. If the port is optimized poorly - no computing power will help. And Watch Dogs was optimized poorly on purpose. (deal between Ubisoft and Microsoft - XBO version can't have worse visuals than any other - so they downgraded PS4 and PC editions - and because they were in a hurry they messed up PC optimalization - unlocked better visuals came with significant performance boost, but Ubisoft patched it to prevent users from unlocking them) And GTA series always liked multi-core processors. So my guess is that GTX770, core i7-4770, Hybrid HDD (or SSD) and 16 GB RAM will be enough.
