New Build W/New ASUS P6X58D I7-920

[imaxcpu]

Puting together a new Intel I7-920 system for FSX that includes a lot of large file hi rez (>7-800mb each) Photoshop work.

My last system was an AMD 940 @ 3.9ghz ASUS M4N82 with 8gb of G.skil. The IMC had a very hard time with all slots full even though I did get her to run at 4Ghz http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=665562 But I never was quite happy. So I jumped ship and am trying a Intel build for the first time since my 486-dx2...

Here are my parts that I have and would apreciate any and all coments.
I plan to overclock around 4ghz on air for 24/7 use.
