The Asus Sabetooth X58 (Socket 1366) is not going to work with any Intel Sandybridge (Socket 1155) processor.

^^ what he said. You'll need a P67 board to run that CPU.

Ah very true indeed may have to resort to upgrading the CPU or changing the Motherboard not sure which to do will work that out nearer the time but will most likely go with the

Gigabyte P67A-UD4

Case looks alright to me. Quite like it actually. Seems to have decent cooling too.
