Yes and you probably asking yourself why im not running @4ghz:
3.7ghz is a ideal speed for me and games see no more benefit running at 4ghz.

Read what ive wrote,im running my 920 at 3.7 not @4ghz anymore,its more than easy to have a stable i7 @4ghz
My sig say 3.7ghz not 4ghz as ive already said im running my 920 at 3.7
My Current temps using the Prolimatech Megahalems with 1 Akasa AK-FN058 Apache Black Super Silent 120mm Fan:
Idle: 42 41 40 43
Load 71 73 72 71 (100% usage)
If you run @4ghz your temps should not increase by much

Thats nice temps.
Think i might swap the NH-D14 to the Prolimatech Megahalems with a Silverstone Air Penetrator 120mm.
4gz is usally pretty easy on most i7's really.
althou quite a few need a jump in voltage between 3.8 and 4.0ghz, increase the overall temps
so if you want to run it cool, 3.8 will still be pretty quick.
nothing wrong with the noctua, its definatlly one of the best air coolers u can get

Doesn't the NH-D14 come with 2 fans already in push pull?
LateX in all honesty if you are planning on overclocking it, get the Noctua cooler, and some corsair XMS3 memory, so there is not problems fitting the cooler.
If u get the mega, it costs the same as u have to add 2 fans to the cost. With the mega you are looking closer to 80'c temps for 4ghz, the noctua your more likely to be looking at 70/75c, and it will be quieter.
And yup the noctua comes with 2 fans ready, so no extra cost.
There really is'nt much difference with the memory, maybe cas ratings, but u will never notice that day to day, only in benchmarks.
Also you asked about the Psu, its more then fine, so don't worry about it.
