I might be considering upgrading for a budget "gaming" PC.
But I also like to use Photoshop and Premiere to edit videos occasionally as a hobby.
Is this sufficient with a i3 or is getting an i7 a must with significant benefits?

I looked at a budget gaming build and it recommended an i3-8100.

To get an idea where I'm coming from:
I'm upgrading from a i5 3570k, GTX 660ti. I was actually ok with this set up, but my computer started acting up, so whatever, I'm due for a new PC anyway. I just want to make sure I get a cpu that fits my need.
