Pretty stoked about upgrading, it's been a while, so I though I'd post up.

Just ordered:

and I'm going to be ordering this shortly to keep the oc'd temps down:

It'll be going in my current rig, so I'll be keeping my current gpu, sound card, psu, etc. I'm also thinking of picking up another 580 to SLI, decisions, decisions.

That is some sexy RAM you have there.

2000Mhz RAM doesn't work with SB. Which means you're gonna have to try to get those sticks to run at 2133Mhz with overclocking it. Or 1866Mhz with lower timings.

Thanks, I'm a bit of a Mushkin fanboy.

They'll run at 2133, no worries. The 2133's were out of stock, so I went with 2000.

Only thing is you most probably won't be able to do that at the 1.5v SB prefers.

I'm sure I won't, considering the stock voltage for that ram at 2000 is 1.65, which I'm quite confident it will run at 2133 also. I've seen plenty of people running ram above 1.5v on SB, so I'm not concerned. However, if push does come to shove, I have no qualms with running it at 1866.

That being said I am running my 1333Mhz 1.65v RAM at 1600Mhz and 1.5v
