Hello, this is the first time on this site so forgive me if I am in the wrong place.
I am going to ordering parts for a new build I want to put together. I am having problems deciding on what I want, the I7 950 or the I7 940. I have read that you can get these to 4.0Ghz and that is what I intend on doing.

I will be using the Cooler Master V6 GT to cool it so I want to get the one with less need for a voltage increase. $1500 is the max price range I can go, so I cant go with water cooling.

I am also debating on getting the Asus Rampage III formula or the Asus Sabertooth. I have been siding with the Rampage but if I can save $70 that can always help.

For memory I have been looking at getting a CORSAIR Vengeance 12GB set. I have herd these being overclocked to 2000 at 9-10-9-24 timing.

Now for the video card I am going to get the MSI twin fan 560 ti. I have seen these being overclocked to 1Ghz so that the best bang for my buck. Later on I will SLI this card.

For the hard drive I am looking at the western digital 500 gig sata 6Gb/s. Not sure if I trust the 1T version but that could just be me. I already have a 500 gig hard dive so that is fine for me. If you know of any faster drives out there I would love to see them.

As of the case I am set of the Cooler Master HAF 932 case. I like the price and the amount of airflow in it. I will be making dust filters for it.

Stats I wish to get
CPU 4.0 Ghz
Memory 2000 9-10-9-24
GPU 1000/2000/2100
If you think this is possible with this set up let me know and if it is not tell me what I can change about it.
Forgot to say I am also looking to get a second monitor. It is 23" 5ms. A lot better then my 19 Asus i am using now.

This is only my second build so forgive me if there is anything that does not work. Don't bash me to bad
Thanks for any comments
