Help! CPU/RAM/MOBO Upgrade 1366 i7 930 can't wait for LGA2011 biting now.

I am going away it seems for a bit, so need to upgrade now, so I can tinker and have fun. With that being said, for $1000-$1800 what would be the most worthwhile upgrade for ram / cpu / mobo?

I want the same as below, 16-32gb of ram in win 7 ultrautilizing my raid 0 samsung pro 840 so I can do a ram drive to (sounded cool)

CPU I can O/C high on Air + a good cooler. If I can use my thermalright extreme Ultra 120 even better. If not look at my case photos, not sure the Corsair or NZXT would work in my case, since where would the radiator go?

Mobo, same as below, 3+ SATA6 spots for my SSD's & WD RED 3TB drives, lots of usb 3.0 tri/quad/five SLI with all PCIE16x lanes. Ports need to be as high up in the mobo as possible due to case config, good overclockability like my gigabyte X58 and stable.

Ok so thoughts I know it sucks and I should wait for the 4930/EVGA Dark(not sure if the mobo was good anyways).... But maybe I can trade for it after SEPTEMBER

Check this thread out. SInce you already have what you want, minus a better CPU, why not just upgrade yourself to a 6 Core CPU that has a much lower TDP and an excellent chance to OC into a beast? :thumbsup:

Which thread?

So far I have the
Mobo: Asus Rampage IV $400
Now I just need to decide on a new HS

RAM:G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 = 32GB

I guess it just depends on what you are doing with the machine but damn, $400 for a MoBo and $300 in memory? I bought my CPU on ebay for $90 and it gives me 2 extra cores and a potential to OC to the level you are at now. It will cost you a hell of a lot less and unless you are going away for YEARS, seems like this could potentially last you a good while longer.

You know I actually am changing so I can put my SSD's on an SATA6 port and my Nvidia cards on PCIE 3.0 + more usb 3.0 ports. for me the motherboard makes sense.

Ram wise, yeah man were getting killed on ram I thought $242 was a good deal instead of $300 :-(
