i went for it today and bought everything i needed to upgrade my first build, i changed a few things up to save some money and to buy a better gfx card etc, what do you think of the components?

Very nice actually it will definately be a big improvement over your current spec. Definately GPU.
 
i was originally going to buy the crosshair III but after hearing the new boards are out in a couple of weeks i thought id save £40 and use this board for the time being and then in summer upgrade again and possibly crossfire the 5850.
 
I have the same CPU, mobo, ram, os and have a sapphire 5850 and it is great. Only issue is I didn't quite manage to get my RAM running at 7-7-7-24 at 1600mhz but I have got it stable at 8-8-7-20 at 1600mhz.
 
ive never overclocked ram, or gpu, ive only overclocked my cpu once, im going to be very wary and take my time to get everything right.
 
Do you have a better cpu coole than the stock one that comes with the 955? You wont be able to overclock very high without one :/
 
Looks good mate. Must admit, I wish I had just gone out and bit the bullet and bought all that I needed. Instead, I've been so hooked up on getting the case I've been after and sorting the water cooling out, that I haven't really got anything to go into it, lol
 
the problem is im off work today and tomorrow, but the earliest delivery was for Wednesday, im so impatient, i really do hope it arrives tomorrow, ive talked my fiance into going out with her friend anyway, in the hope that it arrives and i can have a whole day building it =p
