Well the i7 is a lot faster than an i5 for application work (uses hyper-threading in theory doubling your possible simultaneous computations), but the difference is negligible enough that the average use doesn't notice it, esp since an i5 is still damn fast.

If you're primary focus isn't on gaming mind you, you can splurge on the i7 because I would be lying to say it doesn't help with application speed.
