Since you are going to be gaming, a dedecated GPU is (almost) always better than none. If the i5 only has 8GB RAM, you do need to manually upgrade it to 16GB, because gaming on 8GB is a little tight (except light games like Minecraft and CSGO on Linux)
Agreed, Discrete GPU will be better for gaming, at least in this case. So its a toss up, either get better cpu with the i7 or better gpu with the i5.
