Hello midnightrush12,

Which particular i5 CPU are you considering, some are much better than others.

Also important is the RAM that you get, it must be compatible with the CPU and for the best performance you need to have two matching sticks so that you get dual channel, if you go for one 8GB stick you will only have single channel which is 50% of the performance that the RAM is capable of when in dual channel.

Do you need any further assistance?
