I5 2500k vs i7 2600k. Worth the extra money???

[soullStream]

Hey guys in need of more advice. Im building a new pc this/next week and cant decide between an i5 2500k and the i7 2600k. Obviously the i7 is more powerful but the it is about $110 more expensive than the i5. Is the money really worth the extra when i could spend the money on other components such as cooling or ram? I will be using the computer for video editing etc (after effects, adobe premiere etc) and some gaming. Thanks
