It really depends on how often you actually upgrade. Planned obsolescence is a good way to go for servers and such, but unless you're planning on keeping up with the times and have the money to do so, I'd go for the less expensive rig and hold onto the money. The i7 with Windows 7 is definitely the way to go though. True quad-core is pretty effing sweet (I helped my dad build one out).
