Just get an i5 4670k and spend the rest of money on a good mobo (such as MSI Z87 G45) , aftermarket cooler (CM Hyper 212 Evo or top of the line air cooler such as Noctua NH-D14)
You will need to overclock i5 4670k @ 4.2GHz in order to have most demanding games run full speed
Depending on the model , some i7 CPUs are actually slower than some i5 CPUs . Same generation Quad Core i7 and Quad Core i5 have the same performance in Dolphin .
Base on Dolphin Benchmark , an i3 4130 @ 3.4GHz (Stock) is equivalent to i5 3570k @ 4.4GHz (OCed)
With that said , you should not spend money on an i7 but rather invest on sth else
