The i5 will see you right for gaming.
The added value for i7 is if you're into video/photo editing, streaming or the like.
There's just no 4.2 GHz i5 that fits in a Z170 motherboard. Unless you're planning on overclocking it to that level (and with a Z170 board you should be considering OCing).
Without knowing the exact model of CPU it is hard to say, but it might be worth getting a slightly lower tier CPU and pushing up your GPU a bit (R9 380 for a little bit more, GTX970 for a fair bit more)
