Upgrading to i7- is this everything ?

[pcgamer420]

my current rig: 680i
C2d e6600, 6gb ddr2
Gtx260 sli
Nirvana nv120 hsf, seagate 320gb hd
Vista ult 64, seasonic m12 700w
Cm stacker 830

In shopping cart : Asus P6T deluxe v2
core i7 920
6gb corsair dominator 1600 ddr3

Is this all I need? I have read the p6t mobo supports 775 heatsinks so I am assuming my nv120 will fit on the deluxe v2, is this correct? And will it be enough to OC the 920 to ~4ghz? Also, will vista need to be reinstalled or can I just "plug & play"?

If there's anything I am missing please let me know, any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks!!!

The P6T supports 775 heatsinks. The P6T Deluxe does not. Either mobo will be enough to hit 4Ghz assuming you have a good amount of cooling.

yes it is recommended to reformat and reinstall the OS for best performance and stability.

you will need a lga1366 heatsink for the P6T Deluxe V2, only the regular P6T has holes for both 1366 and 775. I have this motherboard and I could not use my socket 775 bracket on it.

Ok guys, thanks for the help. After more research I have come to this:

Asus P6T Deluxe v2
I7 920
OCZ Platinum 6gb 1600 ddr3
Prolimitech Megahalems HS w/Noiseblocker ms-p fan & ic diamond 7 carat compound
Total: $752 shipped

This vs getting the vanilla P6T, dominator ddr3 and i7920 which would cost $673 shipped.

Does this sound like a better plan? Seems like I would get a better mobo and my system would run cooler and quieter with similar but cheaper memory for an extra $80. Thanks again for the help!

I'd see how far the Nirvana will take the CPU before spending on a Megahalem. If you choose this route, pls let us know how the Nirvana does.
