What specific situations is hyperthreading good for? I'm trying to decide between the i5 2500k and i7 2600k for my new build. It will be for mostly gaming, but I do do some photoshop work as well. Should I just get the i7 to future proof the build?

Encoding, but Quick Sync. Photoshop, but GPU acceleration. Epeen.

If you do any work with rendering, it'd help. Not important for gayman though.

x264 is slightly faster with the hyper threading.

The performance will be marginal if you overclock them both to their max.
