[Wanted] i7 CPU / X58 mobo / DDR3 RAM / LGA-1366 Water Block --- JHB

[BillyBob]

'ello gents

As the topic states, Compulsive Upgrader's Disease has struck again in a bad way.. My LGA775 setup has found a loving home, and I'm thus looking for the following bits:

X58 mobo - SATA 3 & USB 3.0, great overclocking potential.
CPU - i7 920/930 on a later stepping, or i7 965/975XE chips at a good price
Memory - 6GB DDR3 matched kit... Would take 4GB at a push / good price, but would really like a tri-channel kit.
Water block - Anything decent for 1366 - 3/8" fittings highly preferable - don't really want to go through the hassle of getting pipe-size adaptors to fit the water block.

Recommendations would really be welcomed, as I honestly haven't been paying too much attention to the i7 arena in recent times.

Have made ShockG an offer on his 975XE, and AmB3r on his Gigabyte UD3R, but will update the thread as I get feedback..

Thanks in advance chaps!

Jy gaan struggle om sommer 'n usb3 en sata3 bord te kry... dalk moet jy maar nuut koop? Ek weet daar is 'n EVGA X58 FTW oppad met usb3 / sata3 dalk moet jy wag vir dit?

 

[BillyBob]

Daai UD3R wat AmB3r het, het dan beide?

Okay, fine, USB 3.0 & SATA 3 aren't absolute necessities... any good X58 board suggestions welcome!

ROFL
Still deciding will let you know about cpu

 

[BillyBob]

Nee donner Brett... trek draad en kry klaar.

Translation - finish rubbing one out and give me your 975XE - have some faith in finding a 980 before your Aries comes back.. You know you want to.

I've got a board, got a waterblock, and seemingly may have organized memory.. Now you're being the weakest link in my CPU quest.
