And here I was going back and forth on whether or not I would upgrade from an i5 to and i7. The minimal gains (for what I'll be doing anyway), probably won't justify the cost.

Any i5 quad-core is more than enough for games.

Yeah, I was starting to fall for the "i7 is teh GAMING CPU" hype from Intel.

Well in two or three years that will change I guess and Core i7 will be better for games than i5... that's all about how much time you want to hold your config before to change.

Lol by then, I'll be so into the PS4, I'll probably stop PC gaming altogether (regardless of the graphical leaps).
