Upgrades from Win7+ are free for the first year, though I expect they will extend that date - they've already announced that they intend to eventually make the upgrade a recommended update (one that is automatically applied without asking you) in windows update which would conflict with taking away the free upgrade. But Win10 is NOT free. If you're getting a free upgrade its because you paid for Win7/Win8 as part of the computer you bought (assuming very few people here purchased windows separately, though there are a few IT-types around). And if you buy a new computer you get a new Win10 license, and that is included in the cost of the PC for you as well. MS looked at their info and realized that almost no-one was upgrading their windows versions, so they made the upgrade free.

Have you considered stopping new purchases completely?

Throw large files at it? That doesn't really make sense from a CPU performance perspective, though upgrading to an NVMe drive will help a lot with IO performance. Processing a large image in photoshop or something can use up a lot of CPU - but just loading files from disk into RAM (system startup, loading a new game/level, etc.) hardly touches the CPU, the drive will use DMA to put the data into RAM without the CPUs involvement. Hyperthreading is typically good for a 10% performance increase in most multi-threaded workloads - it allows the CPU to have a second pool of instructions (second thread) to pull from in order to keep its internal execution units busy. But the i5 and i7 have exactly the same execution units once you get past the scheduler, and for single-threaded tasks having hyperthreading enabled can reduce your performance. Considering both chips are already quad-core and this is for a desktop - the chances that something is really going to take advantage of the extra 4 logical cores provided by hyperthreading is rather slim. So if you start with the i5 and have $130 to spend..., upgrading to the i7 is going to give you 20%ish better performance in tasks that are CPU limited.

For all the people suggesting swapping the i5 for an i7 - why?

I don't mean to derail this, but I've had a lingering question in the back of my mind for a while now that this subject line is perfect for. And realisticly anything that would work for me would almost certainly work for the OP as well.

I'm not sure how much trust you want to put in a newbie around here, but I do a lot of that type of work on a regular basis. I also don't have a ton of time to commit to taking on any kind of longer term responsibility.

It is safe when done occasionally - as has already been mentioned you just need to make sure you are getting lots of other fluids too and eventually let the waste go to waste don't keep recycling the same fluid over and over. I've drank entire bladder-fulls from my wife and never had an issue.

Two nights ago I think I was very close to getting my wife to pee on me while she was sitting on me riding me. She didn't want to make a mess in the bed, but we were on my side and we do have a matress protector that is always on the bed (small children occasionally join us in bed in the night). I kept the pressure on her, describing how I wanted to feel her fliuds running down the sides of my belly and between my legs, feel the hot wetness soaking the sheet under me and spreading under my ass and up my back.

I always just shower, I'm not sure there's a wipe capable of cleaning me when I'm done playing. But after a few years of changing my kids diapers (they are potty-trained now) the ones I found to be best were the Costco brand ones - cheap and effective.
