I think everyone has gone over baord with this...
your original choice will suit you fine if you only want decent performance in the workstation department but unless ur dealing with images 10 MP+ I wouldn't worry about it for example i'm using a geforce 8800GT and my system runs a treat using photoshop CS 4 its only when I do really big images I see a performance drop but then again that may be due to the fact I only have 4GB of RAM and we all know photoshop can suck that dry in a matter of minutes.
So get one that fits ur budget now and wait 8-12 months before getting a new rig since the computing market is still aload of shit at the moment in regards cost to performance.
plus if u want an i7 expect alot of noise and alot of heat ^_^ but on the plus side u get a nice fast CPU...
(but i'm still on a dual core duo 2.4GHz and everything runs sweet as a nut under Win 7)
Also if you get an i7 you would need new RAM a new motherboard and I can put money on it a new PSU (Also getting a mac would be cheaper and how often can you say that! lol)
