I read up on this topic a lot recently while building my budget system. The general consensus is more the better because outside of gaming it will also help with other apps (adobe as mentioned above) and multi-tasking.

I say it depends on budget. Sub $1000 if you go with a high end i3 vs low end i5 you won't see much difference. i3 will actually game better at this level and the i5 multitasks better.

Past $1000 you're going to be getting 4 or 8 core chip so it's kinda moot.
