Honestly, if you're looking to do 3D, I'd think many of the better optimized games will benefit from the added threads the i7 brings to the table. Even if they don't now, they likely will soon.

Add in the possibility of using a secondary set of programs to decode the 3D and create the HMD interactions (I use tridef for stereoscopic 3D on my TV), they'll take extra cores and threads if the game itself doesn't.

Better to regret having too much hardware than not enough.
