hey

Could anyone give me some ideas about the best way to set up a i7 rig.

I was thinking of getting

Product Name Qty Price Line Total
Corsair Dominator GT 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C8 (2000MHz) Tri-Channel With Airflow Fan (TR3X6G2000C8GTF) £236.99
(£206.08) £236.99
(£206.08)
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail + World In Conflict PC Game £215.99
(£187.82) £215.99
(£187.82)
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard £207.99
(£180.86) £207.99
(£180.86)



would these all work well with each other, or anyother ideas?
 
Those will work, but you're prob better off using 12800 Ram as I believe the performance boost isn't much, and it's a lot cheaper.
 
As Sharlaw said get cheaper RAM as that Dominator kit is excessively expensive. You could also look at getting the 4GHz bundle as that's already OC'ed for you.
