Okay, so, I've shifted down the i7-930 and tacked on the Noctua NH-D14 cooler. I've also dumped the SSD I had and switched to: OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Do you think this is large enough?

How badly do you want to overclock? Not that badly, the other CPU I was looking at the i7-960, do you think this would be a suitable option? I was drawn to the 980X just because it's a fancy new model to be honest (and six-cores!). As for as the motherboard goes... I'm not really sure why I...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming, Photoshop, and 3D CAD 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? I'm shooting for $3000-$3500 excluding tax and shipping. 3) Where do you live? Corvallis, OR 4) What exact parts do you need for...

Yeah, I was going to get a cooler in a month or too, let some new models flow out onto the market. I'm kind of disappointed there isn't much available in that department now.

Okay, so I switched to the BFG PSU, I was thinking I could buy a pair of EVGA 260 (216) s, which is an extra $20 a piece, but I could just OC them myself to the black speeds (They are all the same card right?) That and the PSU save enough to pop for the higher end samsungs, which I'd rather buy...

That Samsung looks nice, but a bit out out of the price range, what about these? LG W2452T-TF Black 24" Acer P243WAid Black-Silver 24" SAMSUNG 2443BWX Glossy Black 24"

Okay, so if I switch the ram to the G.Skill Memory, and the GIGABYTE Motherboard, and then re-apply the saving to a pair of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254026 , would I now be able to use the SLI better? I'm looking to use my $2700 budget to maximize...

Okay, I'll switch to home premium, I was thinking the remote desktop was business/ultimate, but it looks like you can use it on other versions as well. Also, I was looking at the corsair 750W, however I was looking to go modular (I don't think the corsair 620W is enough), and I've never found...

So, I was going to order this tomorrow from US Newegg, but since the EVGA motherboard *just* went out of stock, I guess I have some more time to look at improving things. Do you guys have any tips or suggestions? I'm looking at doing some CPU OCing, gaming, photoshop, and FEA/CFD. I think...
