Additional Comments: After some debate with my friends they said I shouldn't wait around for Sandybridge and that I was just as good off with a 1366 set up. I played around a little and this is what I came up with.
Couple questions...

2) Is this able to Overclock?
3) What are your opinions on the Sandy Bridge over hype?
4) Is this the best 1366 set up for my budget?
