Default I'm feeling non tech savvy - isn't this processor better?
Alright, I have a Intel Core i7 with a 4700MQ Processor. I went on canirunit and it's telling me I need to upgrade to like the Intel Core i5-750 which makes 0 sense to me but I'm just getting back into gaming and all that so maybe it's a 'newer' one but 'better'? I don't know.

No, you're right. Yours is much much better.

On the passmark list, higher score is better. Your cpu is at the top and i5 750 is at the bottom.

Can I Run It isn't the most reliable site. It's very likely that if it said you can't run a game that you really can.

Just agreeing. I only tried Can-I-Run it recently, and it's all over the place.

I use passmark benchmarks all the time, and have for years. Good site. {edit:} There's actually a compare feature to simplify the chart...

What are your other specs?
The price difference between the two CPU's you listed is so massive I am wondering why you chose those two...

Oh, my other specs?

Win8
GeForce GT 750M x 2
16 GB Memory
and obviously, i7

I wasn't sure if the i5 was newer thus 'better' in some type of way and I didn't want to get the game and not be able to play it properly.

Oh duh... Sorry, didn't read properly. I thought you were looking to buy one.
