Thanks bro, that looks like a solid combo. Unfortunately can't get the Team Xtreem ram as they don't sell it in Melbourne

I take it all the prices are in AU$?

If they're in US$, I'd go with a dual Xeon set up for that price. While you'd need two CPU's and more DIMMs for optimal performance, you can actually find dual LGA 1366 motherboards for less than the overclocking centric, single socket LGA 1366 boards.
