Haha nah i know what parts i want, its the main bits im a tad unsure of.

Whats better P55 or X58? If P55 then find me a decent mobo and visa versa for X58
 
X58 hands down triple memory for a start, full speed PCIe in SLI or crossfire (with a 920)

P55 is more of a *gamer* chipset, although as you can see you can get a i7 like CPU

elso the cooler is a little different :( so your I7 cooler might need a bracket, unless it states the socket already
 
This better?
