You would benefit a lot from the i7 and the extra RAM and working with multimedia is the situation in which you will benefit most. However that's not to say that the i5 won't get the job done, it will just take longer, so its up to go whether your budget can stretch to it or not. If it was me I would definitely go for the i7.
