I'm planning on ordering the following at some point to replace my "sold" Q9650. If there's any glaring errors/alternatives I should look at please let me know. 
Intel Core i7 920 - 2.66Ghz CPU
ASUS P6T X58 Motherboad
Corsair XMS3 6GB DDR3 1600Mhz Memory
Corsair H50 High-Performance CPU Watercooler

That's the main stuff. Also getting a Akasa extension lead for the 8 pin (PSU at bottom of my full tower case) and some thermal paste.
I'm hoping to overclock it to at least 3.2Ghz, but will try getting higher. It will replace the dual core cpu, motherboard and memory in my specs. Paired with a GTX280 I'm hoping it will fly again.
Thanks for any help.
