The trick is in clicking the button which looks a bit like a landscape and says insert image when highlighted. You can also have many pictures in one post 
Took me a long time to get there too
You have bought some really astonishing kit there, nicely done. I very much look forward to the build log

Very nice! Glad to see it went without a hitch! Can't help you on the RAM, I don't know my way round Gigabyte BIOS, but you should just be able to bump up the ram speed somewhere. Or if there is an option, you should be able to choose XMP or something, which should set it automatically.
Also, if your CPU voltage is on auto, take it off. You can probably lower those voltages a lot and overclock a bit higher. You shouldn't need more than 1.3v. Just keep lowering it from there until it gets unstable.

Can Any one help me out with setting up my ram on the gigabyte EX58-extreme motherboard
the ram is ocz reaper hpc ocz3rpr1866c9lv6gk
also cpu is p i-7 running at 4ghz at 1.376v 20 x 200 mhz
very new to overclocking so will new some good help ask if you need more information

Stability tested the processor?
Improving ram performance means asking it to run at higher speeds by changing a divider or asking for tighter timings. I don't know which is recommended for i7 systems, core two duo did better with higher speeds at worse timings, amd seem to prefer tight timings at lower speeds.
Obviously the idea would be high speed and tight timings, but that's not likely. Just play with the settings and see what remain stable, then benchmark at high speed and at tight timings to see which looks quicker.
