The difference between the i7 and 720 BE is very small in games, in a lot of games we've seen the 720 BE beat out the i7 whilst being a lot cheaper.

I suppose if you get the i7 you’ll be able boast about having the fastest architecture all around on forums but at the cost of being financially crippled for a relative gain?

It is actually a no-brainer, save over $200 for the similar performance or better in games.
but i7 may last longer and yield much better performance in the future!
