No, its nice if you can afford it but a 4 core without will be perfectly fine.

not particularly, it is nice for things that can make use of it like rendering but for other things like gaming and just general computer use it isnt gonna help much at all.

Is HyperThreading important for gaming?

On an i3 CPU? Yeah, pretty important.

On an i7 CPU? Not that much right now.

It's important if you otherwise don't have enough threads. It's not if you already do.
