Personally, I'd rather have the SSD and extra storage with the i3, but up to you.

Faster read/write speeds. Use an SSD for your OS for faster boot times and use the remaining space for your favourite games.

You get the i5, but less storage and a lesser performing SSD(still good though). You could get that and drop the SSD, spend the extra on a 2TB HDD instead and add a better SSD in the future.
