as the basic price difference between the i3 and the i5 aren't a massive jump i'd go up in price a bit and not down, you might want a bit more power and live to regret it in the long run, while you have the option that is, i'd pump a small amount more in and do the upgrade now tbh, but yes its xmas and money can be tight at this time of year
