Bit late for asking what you should have got?
But no, I'd have gone with most of that if I had the money.
1200w is probably overkill.
I wouldn't have used a TT cooler.

Very nice, lucky you.

Hi Jack, good luck getting to 4Ghz with the NV board......!The best bet with a NV board is to keep the FSB low, I would increase the multiplier to 10, start with a 325 FSB and try to reach 400FSB.......
What cooler are you using for the CPU, dont go over 1.4v for the CPU, and dont forget to give the NB a little more volts as you approach 380FSB

Edit, just saw the cpu cooler, thats not going to give you 4ghz mate.....you will need a TRUE or Ximatek (whatever it is)

I'm still not exactly sure. With changes after order placed. Still waiting for a couple of credits.
As close as I can get it. Between $6,000 and $6,500
