I have a question for you though, is your i7-875k overclocked?...I'm tossing up a coin over the i5 2500k and the i7k series chips (up to 4.4Ghz overclock) price is an issue but not if the i7 is truly superior. I don't put much faith in the marketing flab going around so your opinion would be valued here.

dont fool with i5 or i3 its for the under informed stick with i7
or go with amd as the 8 core fx-8150 is $279.99 the 8 core fx 8120 is around $200
versis the 6 core i7 which is about $1000.00 + or -
performance and cash is the issue.... i and i dont overclock
thats just beggin for a BSOD and i know from experiance...
i tried going to 1600 on mem speed...pppppptttttt.... BSOD....
i trid just increasing cpu speed..pppppppttttt...BSOD......
even tried combo mem and cpu... PPPPPPttt ...bsod!!!!!!!
so i let my puter just coast at regular speeds...
