EDIT -

You should still stick with the i7 system. The i7s are the best processors you can get on the market. Over the next couple years they'll still be more than adequate for your gaming needs. Then all you'll need it to replace your video card. Intels going to be doing more with the i7s over the next few years.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to be to go back to a last gen socket type but put a bunch of money into video cards that will need replaced down line. If you put the money now into the best processors when you already got a very good video card seems more logical.

Would you say the quad core is definitely the way to go?

Core i7 processors are quad core. Each core is hyperthreaded so it's 4 cores with another virtual 4 cores. Not to mention the FSB on the chips is huge. So yes, go with the i7 system.
