• decent cooler - http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/cooler_master_hyper_612s_cpu_cooler_review,1.html
• got a 64bit OS for the 16GB RAM?

The price difference between a i7 2600K and the 2700K isnt worth it for the 100Mhz extra core speed.

You could try a 8GB RAM kit - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS

But the motherboard is worth keeping as its Ivybridge ready, does Crossfire/SLI at 8X/8X, it also has a good selection of display outputs (1 x D-Sub, 1 x DVI-D, 1x Display port, 1 x HDMI) to connect to a monitor while you wait for GFX cards.

Cant say, never used 16GB of RAM personally.

But people have specced systems here before for video editing/3d modeling etc and gone straight to 16GB skipping 8GB.
