| My coworker just built a new machine with the low end i7, it's pretty sweet. He over clocked it to 3.9 with air cooling and it's been running stable for over a week. If you want the most upgrade potential I would buy an i7, as the older chipsets will be slowly phased out.
I'm not real up on the older processors, so I can't give you much advice if you want to go with something a bit cheaper.
