CBA to scroll down to see the specs. You're paying more than you should, and it's a waste. To answer your question, the I5 is the better choice for gaming and everyday tasks. Hell, you could even grab an I3 3220/40 I7 is irrelevant for gaming, as games do not benefit from the hyperthreading.

unless you plan on rendering hours of 1080p movies or compiling a massive cryengine 3 mesh, i5 will be MORE than enough.

what matters for gaming is the gpu. Anything at or above an i3 should be fine. the 670 is very good. I would build it myself, (which i did for my first time very recently) It is hard, but once you understand it, it becomes much easier. feel free to ask me some ?'s

PS. If u need to, just custom build one on their site. An i5 with a gtx 660ti or (preferably) gtx 670 will be fine.

i5 is more than enough, i7 is overkill.
But you will need a good GPU if you're looking for gaming.
