mb = Asus p6t v2
cpu = i7 920
case= cool master 932 HAF
hard drive = WD raptor 300gb w/partition win7 64 + winxp 32 (reason is because of some older games I like that will run on xp )

artic silver 5 thermal compound

Corsair Dominators, DDR3 1600, those are probably the best choice ( not the most price efficient however )
