I had never heard of that mobo before, thanks for the introduction. What does it OC like?

From what I've heard, the X58i isn't amazing... http://www.hexus.net/content/item.ph...=17174&page=10
You could do better with an Open Box ASUS P6T or something like that from Newegg. Also, you could get a member of OCN to ship you an i7 for less money than that, if they live near a Microcenter.
Don't forget that you don't need Tri-Channel RAM in the Core i7 system, dual-channel still works.

exactly, get any version of the bloodrage if possible and also you your I7 920 at microcenter, they are only 200$ there, so you will save 80$ on the CPU alone!
even the 96T is only 240 on tiger
if oyu can find a good set of g.skill tridents, even the 1600's get them too ,they are pretty cheap and FAST

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'll stay away from that board then. Also, I'm only about 10 minutes from a microcenter but they're out of stock at the moment

. If they ever go back in stock of course I'll go there (I got my Q9550 there for $160!).
Thanks for the RAM suggestions too, as well as Bloodrage! I think I'll go for a Bloodrage, I like 'em. As for RAM, I'll look for some of the G.Skills.
