Go for i7. The i9 will use the same socket type, and thus, you will be able to upgrade in 2 years when it is not >$1000.
Bite the bullet now or wait?
I've been waiting for about 3-4 months, since my old PC took it's last breath

and it's bit the dust and I've been waiting since then looking at new builds and the longer I've been waiting the more I've been hearing about i9 (I know it alone will be out of my price range when it first comes out), new X58 & P55 boards, fermi (kirby), 5000 series etc. and I was wondering if I should continue waiting or just bite the bullet get it out of the way and get a build together for black "stampede" Friday. I honestly am not 100% sure what to go for if I did buy now, but I have somewhat of an idea what I'd get if I wait. Any opinions?

That's what I thought weeks ago. Until I saw that AMD is keeping AM3 socket as their main socket for longer :/ Wasted so much money on i7.

for i9 nah. I mean everyone knows the price is going to be expensive. Black Friday, meh. You should wait for cyber monday where online retailers such as newegg, etc would have some pretty good deals and I believe that's where you could start jumping on it.
There will always be better and newer technology, you gotta choose. Its either na0 or never.
