Hey guys, It's time to finish off upgrading my gaming rig and any help is appreciated in selecting the right components that work well together I don't know much about intel I've been with AMD for 10+ year now, Time to try them out for a change.
my current hardware:
CASE, Obsidian 800D
GPU, 7950
CPU AMD phenom 9850 BE
MOBO, Asus T delux
MEM ocz 800MHz DDR2
watercooling loop, D-Tek CPU block, 1/2" ID tube, 240mm rad, Noctua f12/bitfenix 120mm fans push/pull swiftech mcp 350 pump + ek top rez
PSU, Enermax 650WATT,
Bitfenix/Noctua case fans,
Hard drives, SSD/HD
What im looking for now is a new CPU, Mobo, RAM, and CPU water block
what I have in mind so far is:
CPU 90% set on this one which should clock to 4.6GHz

mobo
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-512-AS
or
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-541-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2261
RAM kinda just a after thought atm to get me up and running I just need something half decent and cheap
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-064-PA
a couple more compression fittings for the new waterblock
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-187-EK
and a Heatkiller rev 3.0 (copper style) CPU block which OCUK don't currently sell = (
or

any thoughts on these, I know the motherboards are overkill and I won't see any gains but im just drawn too them purely on visuals and ease of over clocking I could use the on board water block on the ROG board + it comes with LED's all over for the extra bling factor or the sabertooth for a really clean look in my case.
