HT in i7's don't offer a lot in gaming, >8gb of ram still don't make a lot of difference, you're just wasting money on an 850w psu if you're not running your card in CF/SLI , and unless you feel really ready, i reckon a first timer will OC that CPU a little more modestly, which the Hyper212 Evo will do just fine.
