Need input for an i7 build

[Curl]

Hey guys, the bug has hit me and I can't stand it any longer! lol Gonna be doing an i7 920 build in the next few weeks and wanted to get some input on 1 or 2 issues that crossed my mind.

First things first, I've pretty much narrowed down my board choice to the DFI LP DK X58-T3eH6.

I plan to pick up the cpu and thermaltake V1 or V1 AX from a local microcenter.

My conflict comes in with the RAM. I'm trying to decide between like 4 kits LOL
G.SKILL PI Black 6GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for $219
OCZ Platinum 6GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for $119 w/ $10 MIR
OCZ Reaper HPC 6GB DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) for $191 w/$40 MIR
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for $141

- I know the G.Skill set works VERY well from looking at these results , it just has a pretty hefty price premium.
- The OCZ Platinum kit is not only reasonably priced but also has the lowest latencies of all the kits listed
- The OCZ Reaper kit has the most bandwidth and OC flexibility for a reasonable price
- The Corsair kit is mainly for if I can't stand it any longer and decide to get a P6T vanilla instead (then I can just buy everything locally from Microcenter) lol


Second issue is I'm wondering if my PSU will be up to the task. I have the orange PCP&C Silencer 750w unit and I'm planning to shoot for a 4Ghz OC.
Let me know what you think

EDIT:
Oh yeah forgot to list carry over hardware:
Sapphire 4870x2
Xonar DX
Samsung SATA DVD Burner
2x Seagate 7200.10 250GB drives
3x Seagate 7200.10 750GB drives

go with the cheaper ram.
don't get the V1 cooler. get the cm v8, thermalright ultra 120, noctua forget the name, etc.
i believe that power supply should handle that build with no problems.

The links in your OP are broken, but here are the correct paths:

G.SKILL PI Black 6GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for $219
OCZ Platinum 6GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for $119 w/ $10 MIR
OCZ Reaper HPC 6GB DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) for $191 w/$40 MIR
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for $141

Go with this G.Skill kit instead. All of those above kits would work at stock speeds, but you don't need tight timings or fancy heatsinks for overclocking. The high speed of the DDR3 1600 RAM is so that you wouldn't have to overclock the RAM.

I agree with auceny -- for a good CPU cooler, go with the Cooler Master V8, the Noctua NH-U12P SE1366, the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme 1366 RT, or the Xigmatek HDT-S1283V.

How old is your PC Power & Cooling power supply? Aside from (my) concern about its age, it will be enough for your new build.

OP must be color blind, the PSU is red

If you have friends that care about CL timings, get these for only $5 if you want to appease them.

$105 - G.SKILL 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3-1600, 8-8-8-21, 1.6V -1.65V, F3-12800CL8TU-6GBPI
