New i7 Build - Did I do good?

Impressive build. You just need a 30" monitor and you're all set

Mind you, the P6T overclocks better than the P6T Deluxe and it's $50 less, but I guess it's OK anyway.

Yeah, that build should overclock very well.

I have a 24" monitor, but still no 30".

I just checked the shipping on my Power Supply and they still haven't sent it out yet I should of went through New Egg, except they don't have one listed atm

What do you think I'll be able to OC to, without going to the extreme?

Look at the reviews here:

There's even one who claims he got his i7 920 to 4GHz, using the P6T Deluxe and the same cooler as you. Mind you, that is the best air cooler so I'm not surprised it allowed a huge OC. OK, maybe he's luckier or more skilled than you and you'll only get 3.4 or 3.6 stable, but even that is still very good IMO.

Why am I only able to run it at 1333 mhz? I'm thinking your a bit confused. I should be able to OC it close to 2ghz.

@aevm where did you hear the deluxe isn't as good as the base P6T for overclocking? that is very new to me...

I have heard of a lot of people getting their i7's past 4ghz on the P6T Deluxe, but it depends mostly on your cooling solution. People with water cooling can go past 4ghz. With that TRUE I would say you can get to 3.8 at least.

Bought the processor, mobo, and case, blueray, os, 1TB HD at Microcenter, instore pickup only.
Heatsink from heatsinkfactory.com
The GTX295 is sold out everywhere, but i managed to find zipzoomfly with some in stock so I over paid.
The Power Supply was sold out everywhere as well, but I got a good deal through Proadvantage.
I bought the memmory and velociraptor off New Egg.

I have a question about your 2 hard drives. One is a lot faster then the other, how would you take advantage of the speed? Do you store only certain types of data on the faster on? If so, which data?

Thanks

Mind sending me one ?
