Go for the Q9550, if you are keeping the same motherboard.

Intel i7 would be too expensive comparing the performance increase than Q9550.

But if you are planning to change the motherboard too, then you can go for AMD as well. I just build my new machine and it is really fast. Also, you will have a future proof PC because AM3 is a new socket and LGA775 is dying breed...
