All looks good for a gaming/power rig. Overclocking "Ready" I suppose.

Tho, the 830 case have issues, especially with circulation of heat. Are you water cooling it? If so then nothing major. If t's air cooling, I'l recommend the Li-Lian PC7+ or the V1000 or the old 810 CMstacker instead.

Air cooling, you'll easily get over 3GHz

At 1:1, you get squeeze a max of around 3.6GHz

looks ok, but I'm going to wait to see how the motherboards perform before buying one

That's one powerful rig. Nice!

CPU won't even break a sweat with a 3GHz overclock
