Alright thanks for your help guys, I was debating whether or not to get the i7-960 or i7-920 and I got the 920 since I am going to be Overclocking this puppy to 4.0Ghz so I dont think it will matter that much. Basically this is all what I am getting now for my new computer set up. Open to suggestions

Heatsink: Thermalright TRUE Black 120 CPU Cooler: CrazyPC Computers

CPU Fan: Newegg.com - Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan - Case Fans

The "Ultra Kaze" 120x38mm fan is deeper than a regular 120mm fan, 38mm compared to 25mm. Because of this the fan will be located above the 1st (2) memory slots covering them, so to speak. With standard size memory modules this is not a problem. However, the Corsair Dominators you have selected are not standard size, the heatspreaders make them taller and this can cause a problem.

This set of OCZ Gold are the same speed, same timings (latencies), their standard size and they cost $60 less.
Newegg.com - OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK - Desktop Memory

And get this thermal paste, it's better than AS5 and the OCZ Freeze Extreme.
Newegg.com - Tuniq TX-2 Cooling Thermal Compound - Thermal Compound / Grease

The Thermalright True is a Great Heatsink but it needs to be lapped, order the optional lapping kit option. You find instructions on lapping in this guide.

I like everything else. Good Luck

Alright thanks the golds where what I was originally going to go with, but I saw that the dominators won 8 times and the reviews where amazing. So it seemed to be better than OCZ in my opinion, am I wanting to OC. Also where exactly would the Fan go if I am wanting to use it to help cool my CPU as a CPU fan?
