Small spec check!

Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping

Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Intel X58

OCZ Blade Series 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000

Thermalright TRUE Black

Opinions? Would this be my best bet for overclocking / quietness?

Cheers!

Looks spot on, but you'll want a fan or 2 with the TRUE, noctuas are good but may look out of place with the nice TRUE black, maybe sharkoons

no graphics card?

Looks a good spec

I'm undecided on a graphics card- maybe something around 4890 / 260 levels... any suggestions? (want something quiet ideally).

Gonna get some sharkoon silent eagle se's.

Is there any other better ram for similar price / cheaper?

Also, thinking of a couple of vertex's for the os - are the 30gb slower than the 60gb's? Should I consider the new samsung's instead?

Cheers guys!

that RAM would be my choice as it should be overclockable

gfx depends on how much you want to spend tbh but bang for buck atm is GTX260 or ATi 4870

apparently the corsair SSD's are great for price and performance but dont take my word for it do some research

Well the 260 isnt anywhere near the 4890 so out of those two go 4890.

Best bang for the buck right now is the 512MB 4870 for £120.
