New i7 build

I would not shop the absolute best price on each component. Doing so will VASTLY complicate your aquisition/build process and add much time and shipping to your project timeline.

I (wisely) advise you to find a single vendor, for all functional components, if at all possible. Simplifies deliveries. Centralizes parcel tracking. Leverages deals and combos and simplifies rebate procedures. RMAs are to and from a single source. Personal and credit data are not "strewn" all over the global internet. Far less complicated and confusing, overall (K.I.S.S. ! ). Also, less finger-pointing if things don't work together.

Yeah ... Find a solid vendor that you trust with your personal and credit data and who has large volume and a long history of paradigm service ... I'm thinkin' newegg or tigerdirect, if you are in the states. Maybe Dell or some of the larger brick-n-morter "big-box" component sellers.

everything except the 920 is from newegg. i found it cheaper on amazon.

You *ARE* aware that the i7-930 is out for $10 more and will get you up to 15% better performance, aren't You?

doesn't it basically overclock the same?

from what i've read, it is the same processor with a +1 multi. i can get the 920 $50 cheaper
