Hey lychee3611,

I found this guide on Ars Technica to be really helpful. Go have a read. It suggests the best combination of parts for 3 different types of PCs. Basic, Hotrod and Godbox. You should check out the Hotrod suggestions.
The Ars System Guide Sept 2010

Hope that helps.

Why not building a Sandy Bridge rig? It is more powerful than Bloomfield (Core-i7 950), runs cooler too.

Take a few minutes to read some 2600K reviews.
