Hi Guys. decided to upgrade from my E8400 (tear in my eye) and move to the new i7. Below are the 3 parts I need as cooling,storage and boot drive (SSD) are all taken care of. I will put the prices also of them (best that I have seen). Should I change anything and is this money well spent?

Motherboard - gigabyte X58-UD3R(v2). Reason for this is that I have a PCI-E sound card and the layout of other boards mean that this would need to go. $245

CPU - Core I7 950 $319

Memory - Mushkin blackline DDR3-2000 6GB (9-10-9-24) $190

______

total for upgrade $754
 
Id get the 1600mhz kit and overclock it dude tbh 998826 like we reviewed here, they seem to be little stunners when overclocked. Other than that just make sure you get a decent heatsink.
