"i5 w/ 8GB RAM vs. i7 w/ 4GB RAM"


  

          

I'm building a computer and trying to stay under $800. Between these two, which would you choose? I will be doing mostly audio production/editing, graphic/image design, and minor video editing.

Here are the programs i'm running:

Pro-Tools 8
FL Studio 9
several VST instruments/effects
PS CS4
AI CS4
Dreamweaver
Flash


What's the verdict?
