The i7 is better, but they both cost significantly different prices.

If money is sort of an issue you can always meet on common ground with the i5-4690k.

 

i7 - 4 cores 8 threads

i5 - 4 cores 4 threads

i3 - 2 cores 4 threads

P - 2 cores 2 threads

 

You would be better off with the i3-4150 over the Pentium G3258 if you were on a tight budget.
