super techs of reddit! I need your help with processor selection!

hopefully all you guys can help. Christmas is just 24 days away and I'm aiming to get a new computer, and as of now its a debate between either the i5 or i7 processor. I know the only real difference is the i7 has hyperthreading, and I'm just wondering if its worth it short term or long term. I mainly use my computer to run Adobe suites (photoshop/illustrator) and run dj programs(i.e. virtual dj). I have considering getting into PC gaming at some point.
