Good choice, i7 will be around a while and will most likely get better with time. So by the time your ready to upgrade it will be cheaper, better developed, and there will be more community support here for it (at least that is how I justified paying this much for that RAM), lol! Now the only problem you'll have LuckySevn is finding a kit in stock somewhere (I lucked out by finding a few kits at newegg but its real hit or miss). Make sure you keep us updated as soon as you get a kit!
