If your not doing intensive stuff like rendering, 3d modeling then you can just get a i5 4690k, main difference between i7 and i5 is hyper threading.

then a i5 4690k should be enough for video editing and gaming. it's a 100 dollars cheaper and if your going with a i7, there would be a few fps increase.

You wouldn't notice the Hyper Threading when gaming games like physical cores lol

However content creation software like adobe love threading so it depends which you will be doing more of I guess?
