Some of you may remember I was speccing a PC. Well I have been saving for a few months and buying components as and when I can. I want to know what is the best 1366 I7 to get bang per buck? I have a limit of 250 for CPU but if there is a cheaper one at a good price then great!

What I have so far is:
- Asus SABERTOOTH X58 TUF
- Corsair H70
- Crucial 64GB Real SSD C300
- Fractal Design R2 Case
- Asus HD 5850 1GB
- Zalman ZM500-HP

Think I may have to buy a larger PSU as its power is close to what I need if not enough......

Just need the final piece :) along with some memory

(I have a few Samsung F3 1TB drives as storage)

4GHZ easily with that Corsair cooler, maybe a touch more as 4GHZ use to be about the maximum the older H50 cooler could realistically cope with.

Your motherboard choice is great and the reviews I have seen show it to overclock like a winner.
 
That sounds the only choice then :) I ask before I buy anything!

Yeah the sabertooth M/B from what I read is solid and at a really good price + SATA III 6GB/S was important for me with the C300 being able to use this platform. (+ the colour scheme of the M/B really doe's it for me :P different to anything else)
