What would you do? (Installed an i5 instead of an i7)

I do a lot of music production & I just built a computer yesterday installing i5 4670k. A lot of places where I was reading people were saying you wouldn't really notice that much of a difference between i5 and i7 only in certain situations & my situation was one of those (Multi Threading in Ableton Live). Is there anything I can do? I got it from Newegg a few days ago but I don't think I can return it now. It's a brand new processor save me installing it already but I really need to get an i7 for what I need.

I got my Core i7 4770k from New Egg and I think their policy is you can only exchange for the same model in case of defect within 30 days (no refunds). It's more stringent than for the majority of their merchandise.

Yeah that's interesting because they would still have to send a new processor either way. I could just pay the difference and have them send me an i7 ... Maybe that's not how it works
