CPU: Intel Core i7 920 ($199 from nearby Microcenter)

MOBO: Still undecided, but looking at EVGA 141-BL-E757-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX X58 SLI LE ($229 - $20 MIR)

RAM: Not really planing to overclock these, so almost anything will do. Looking at OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 ($149.99)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227365

CPU cooler: Very tempted to get these after reading all the reviews: Looking at CoGage True Spirit + Thermalright Bolt-Thru Kit ($50 shipped)

I'll be also upgrading to Window 7 when my brother buy his laptop around thanksgiving as well as upgrading my 8800gtx some time next year.

This Gskill 1333 set runs at 1.5v and with lower voltage come lower temps-
Gskill 1333

Gskill 1600

For the price of the cooler master, i'd get a LL. (just my .02)

 

[Purostaff]

which LL model are you suggesting? I'm still very iffy on the MOBO. It's a little too expensive imo.

Well you are going for the extreme or high performance market segment so of course it's gonna be expensive. Besides, $230 is reasonable for a high performance, highly stable, and high quality motherboard for the X58 chipset compared to the prices of other X58 motherboards out there.

With that said, there are cheaper X58 motherboards out there. However I'm personally unsure whether or not they're of good quality or have high stability in addition to having SLI capabilit (not all X58 mobos have SLI support). Up to you to do the research on those sub $175 X58 motherboards.
