Okay, I was just eating dinner and I come back and WHAM all of this info for me to look through! HOLY CRAP! Okay I want the i7 because when I do get the computer I want to be able to render videos VERY fast! I know you say it may not be worth it but that is my choice. As for the GPU, could some one just send me the same build with the proper adjustments in the GPU for me? Im still a little bit of a noob at this so I dont understand EVERYTHING you all are saying. Correct me if im wrong but here is what im think you are saying to do:

You are looking at a difference of seconds for rendering videos. I fear you are falling into the i7 bracket for the wrong reasons without really understanding why you want an i7. If you were a 3D artist and when time means money i.e. saving 1hr on rendering times every day adds up...
Its your build i'm just recommending spending you money elsewhere into where you will see the difference.
Without the i7 will I be able to render and record at the same time? Im not sure if I will be using fraps, dxtory, or shadowplay.
I use shadowplay every day and make videos, typically for Arma 3 life and on my i5 4670k (the old version of the i5 i'm recommending to you)
I have the same Evo 212 HSF as you.
The only time you'll see a difference is in multi-thread applications - which of these do you currently use ?
It's your money my friend but everyone on these forums will tell you if you are a gamer with the odd light home editing / video work an i5 is more than capable. People buy i7's and pay the extra money and never see the benefit from them as they simply won't use multi-thread applications.
I'd recommend this build which is $102 less, with a faster SSD.
