The i7 is a nice, I have one. However your not going to see any difference until you get into 6+gb of ram and multi-GPU's. So if you do want to future proof and go with an i7 you will have to make sure your motherboard can support those future upgrades as well.
None of this matters if you are planning on getting 32bit windows 7. If you are going with a 32bit version then you'd be wasting your money on an i7.
I also agree with the Caviar Black hdd.
