Case: Cooler Master HAF full tower
CPU: i7 920 D0 Stepping ( On it's way in the mail atm )

So, I want to know which is a better board for stability when Overclocking the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131365&cm_re=asus_p6t_deluxe_v2-_-13-131-365-_-Product or the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188039&cm_re=evga_1366-_-13-188-039-_-Product

Ram? It looks like OCZ Platinum is the best performance value for the money...

Going for a Mega for the heatsink.

Lastly, I might have enough for a Ati 5850 depending on what day it actually retails.. I don't want to wait more than a few days into October though. Any ideas if it's going to break $300? I figured it would even out around $270-280.

Why the hell is the upgrade for Windows 7 ultimate so damn much? With a fresh unopened copy of OEM version Vista Ultimate 64bit.. i'm kind of bleh about this because I really enjoyed Windows 7. I can't return the copy because I ordered it from Newegg like.. 6 months ago. Any help could be wonderful since I actually want to get this ordered by like pretty much next week.

My vote is for the ASUS board over the EVGA board. I agree the OCZ Platinum is a very good RAM and is highly recommended.

On the Win 7 upgrade, I'm not sure what to recommend to you on that. I'm not a fan of an upgrade disk over a full version OEM. You have to install two windows disk for one install. I would recommend to hold on to your Vista disk and purchase a full OEM version of Win7 once released.

So, one for the ASUS board even though he has the EVGA board. Anyone else?
