For your purpose, you probably don't need the extra processing power of the i7 (wouldn't be worth the extra money for you). However- I would only recommend the i5-750 because I would only by a true quad core these days. The dual core i5's are not what you want, especially since you'll probably want a discrete graphics card anyway.

I agree. I'd go with a high end i5 to ensure that you have plenty of processing power for your programs.
