You just went through my thought process entirely. I don't really need an i7 given my requirements, but the comparables aren't much cheaper and since this is the first new computer in 6 or 7 years I'd rather future proof myself as much as possible.
Hell the only reason I'm really upgrading other than the aforementioned 7 year old computer is because my motherboard is so old that it's only got an AGP slot so I pretty much have to.

Requires a call to microsoft if you do any major upgrades (cpu, motherboard) for re-activation.
Just something to consider.

Yeah I was looking at doing the OEM solution.
