Read up on building and set up PC's 3. Picture of Parts. 4. Build the system - With Pictures are various stages. 5. Install Windows 7 RC, Install drivers 7. Final Pictures of the finish build. Planned System Parts:- although still deciding.

the R2E is unnecessary, go for a cheaper board like the EVGA x58.

The BloodRage is supposed to be a very good motherboard, great overclocker aswell.
I think the Megahalem and V8 should perform closely, however I believe the Megahalem will cool better.
