Core i7 Extreme

If I were to buy one of these, what kind of motherboard, memory and cooling would it need. I hear it is possible to overclock them by 1ghz without fiddling with the voltage, so stock cooler? Doesn't sound right to me.

I know what you're all thinking.. £700-800 on a CPU? But I know where I can get one at a third of that price.

Any ideas on a good cooler?

As for cooling, a Prolimatech Megahalems with two Noctua NF-P12 fans is an amazing combo.

Looks like I'd need quite a lot of room for that combo, I have an Antec 300.. would it fit comfortably?

Cheap too! Although I reckon I'd need better for overclocking.
