This is definitely the case for you then, yes.
I would only make two suggestions:
1) Get a "locked" (non-K sku) i7; it'll produce less heat for you to worry about and you won't be able to overclock anyways.
2) As one of the Zaber boys said, wait for AMD's Ryzen to come out before buying this system. In the best of senarios, it'll blow intel out of the water for the kind of workload you're looking at. In the most realistic but still hopeful of senarios, it'll challenge Intel enough that you'll be able to get your system for cheaper.
Cheers!
