i7 or i5 Processor?
The things I will be doing on the computer I plan on building are:
- Playing Video Games; Such as TF2, BF3, D3, and Minecraft.
- Recording and Editing videos for YouTube.
Which Processor would best suit my needs?

With my computer specs I can play BF3 on ultra quality without any problems (using i5-2500k)

Actually not that noticeable on the practical level, though. Unless you're going to render some crazy stuff, the power difference between the two is pretty minimal for the most part as far as trying to notice the difference yourself (of course it depends on what you're doing exactly, but you know what I mean). The i5 should be able to handle everything at a fair rate.
i7-3770K.

If I recall correctly, the only difference between the i5 and i7 is slightly more clock speed and hyper threading. If you think you'll need it, then get it.
