Only difference between i7 and i5 is that i7 has hyper-threading technology. Which will benefit in programs that use all the processor's cores.
You should invest more in GPU.

Get a i5, you don't really need an i7 unless you want to spend 300 bucks.
why dont you try I7 may be the price may high but it will be very usefull for gaming

You don't need a high end CPU as much as a GPU to play games. The i7 is more useful for multi-threaded applications such as video rendering (no not silly montages), 3D modeling & animation, VMware, etc. Its better than the i5 in performance but gaming performance is roughly the same. No video game is really threaded to use more than 1-2 cores. You don't need the i7's hyper-threading for that.
Get an i5 3350P? Good enough for gaming and cheaper than an i7.
