I was actually looking at that motherboard and i thought it sounded better to me. The one question i do have is that i don't plan to upgrade this for quite a while. I am in college and probably won't upgrade the CPU or GPU until 2 or 3 years from now. Is it worth getting the 1366 board? Or could a save alittle money and get the i7 860, the Motherboard i originally posted, and 4GB or ram?

so basically

One thing i should also note, i can't but all of this until the summer, so i am just trying to get a close system right now and when i go to buy it it might change alittle

another quick question. the PSU is an ATX12v and the case wants an ATX, Also the Motherboard is an ATX board, will the PSU work with those?
