I'll laugh all I want, but I'll kindly make suggestions that they revise their budget when I'm posting.

Laugh all you want. Alone. And please make all suggestions that come to mind. That's what a discussion is for, but I ask them to be wrapped in a nice reply package.

How am I doing so far?
If I put this
EVGA X58 ATX LGA1366 DDR3 3PCIE-16 PCI-E1 2PCI SLI SATA2 eSATA Dual GBLAN Motherboard
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping Quad Core Processor LGA1366 2.66GHZ Bloomfield 8MB LGA1366 -SLBEJ-
OCZ Gold OCZ3G1600LV6GK 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 CL 8-8-8-24 Triple Channel Memory Kit
Corsair Professional HX650W 650W ATX 12V 52A 24PIN ATX Modular Power Supply Active PFC 120MM Fan
Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 850MHZ 1GB 4.8GHZ GDDR5 PCI-E Display Port 2XDVI HDMI DirectX 11 Video Card
OCZ Vertex 120 ssd
WD Caviar Black 1tb hdd

in a HAF932 along with the various other bits and bobs like dvd drives, sound cards and card readers that I have laying around.
I also like the idea of the H50 cpu cooler.It just seems, well, cooler than a hsf.
I know the videocard and the ssd are a little overkill for me, but I don't mind having some toys that I may not make full use of. Just as long as they all will work together.
Also since I don't intend to do dual cards, is there a more appropriate mobo choice? Let's all just gloss over the inappropriate videocard, shall we?

The GPU and SSD Overkill this word is use by people who can't afford thing , they are no such thing as overkill with our babies, the more powerful it is. the better it is. You will not regret it the day you gone need it . Start to be tire of the crap we ear everyday here, SSD is faster for load Windows, Faster for open a software, faster to load a game, faster to load some part of the game. PERIOD And you DAM right, it's your money so buy the toy you like.

You have a good build in the way, the only thing I don't like is the OCZ memory.
You can give a try to the H50, but I can tell you High End Air Cooler do a good Job too, if not better
if you like the kind of design , have a look at Cool-it , They are Canadian ..it's a warranty of good service


CPU Coolers

Alternate memory suggestions?

[Fudd Rucker]

Cant go wrong with mushkin,gskill or corsair. Id personally pick up the cheapest low latency 1600mhz kit i could find and be happy with that. I dont like OCZ as I got the shaft on a lot of MIR from them.

G.Skill I have had good success on, Kingston as well if you need alternates. I even Run Crucial DDR3 and its been a dream. The Ram Clocks in really nice and the timings are fairly tight considering.

My crucial 1333mhz 7-7-7-20 runs 24/7 @ 2000mhz 9-9-9-24 1T timing and i couldnt be happier with them lol. I would have suggested the sticks im using, but I know not every setup is the same and he could very disappointed with this suggestion.
