I hate this "Prepare fo future" excuse.

What is there to prepare when there's no software to take advantage of it?

by the time software comes out 1 or 2 years later, you can get better i7 CPU and mobos and less than half the price.

Unless you have too much cash to spend, there's really no "future" to prepare for, because it doesn't exist until then, which you can get better performance and cheaper price.
