If your main activity with your processor is to play games then go with the i5. It will save you a lot of money and the difference is not noticeable. For other activities the i7s come into their own, but not with games.

The i7 is 100MHz and also has Hyper Threading (HT), but games do not take advantage of HT. I heard that maybe BF3 can make limited use of HT, but I'm not positive. You will not notice a difference of 100MHz. in games.
