I have almost the exact same, if I where you (which im obviously not as im good looking and your just...... UHHH ;D) I would downgrade from Vista to XP sp2, it will cost you an extra £50 but its worth it performance wise!

only worth waiting if you want to wait for the price drops... i7 itself wont be good value for money at the start... only good to wait if you want the bestest computer possible

westmere/sandy bridge are much bigger advancements imo :\
