An i7 is exactly the same as an i5 for most of the time. It only comes into it's own when rendering, decrypting or encoding.
Only buy an i7 if you spend a lot of time doing those things.
For playing Fallout 4, an i5 actually works better than an i7

microstuttering in fallout 4 - the cure, turn your i7 into an i5 by switching off hyperthreading
