Both are good choices. If you are starting the build from scratch and you intend to use mainly for gaming, I would probably go with the i5 (socket 1151) as it gives you access to everything on the market just now and is still a great choice for gaming. It will also have a better upgrade path in the future.

That being said, if you are regularly using the PC for heavy CPU workloads like video/photo rendering, then get the i7.
