Approximate Purchase Date: when i'm in new york (i live in indonesia)

Budget Range: 700- 900 After Rebates ( The lower is better )

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Full Settings on every game ( Gaming )

Parts Not Required: KeyBoard , Mouse , Monitor , Graphic Card, WiFi Card, HDDs, DVD Rom.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com or other websites (because i don't know many good websites)

Country of Origin: Indonesia ( I will buy it and ship it in new york or other websites that i could come directly to the store , because i don't know if my credit card will be accepted in US )

Parts Needed : - Processor : i7 950 ( or any other that is better from value prefences )
- Motherboard : Asus Rampage III Extreme/Formula (Which should i pick ? or there are any other motherboard around these prices that is better ?)
- Memory : Any cheap DDR3 Triple Channel 1600Mhz ( 8 GB or 12 GB kit )

Overclocking: Yes( I'm newbie at overclocking but i'm looking forward to , and does Spire Thermax Eclipse II could handle overcloking daily to 3.3 ghz ?)

SLI or Crossfire: No

Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: Do i have to upgrade my HDD ? does 1 TB Green Power WD will do it ? or i should go to add 500 or lower Caviar Black HDD for os ?
and will the new i5 will be better than i7 950 ? and perhaps more cheaper ?
one more thing, can you give me combos (to make it cheaper) ? i will really appreciate it .

Thanks before ! sorry if my english is bad.

yes i'm planning to, but in case its not better than i7 950 i think i will buy 950.

i'm using AMD 1055T now ,, but it's really hot and not as fast as i7. i think X6 1100T is not a choice..
