I was saying to myself ,  my 790 digi FTW is still rippin through my games and over clockin my wolfdale to 4.2 Mhz
but these last few day's I been itchin , sweating , and nail biting since the new round of $100 rebates on the 4way classy came into my inbox mail
so I hit the comfirm order button and now on to my first I-7 build
of course I am bulidin this new rig just to get that extra 15 fps out of the heavy WOW icecrown bosses lol
now I was wondering what cpu and ram / intel 930 or 950 (I want 4.0 Mhz +) and what speed of ram should I be looking at to keep every thing stable
I brand new to this 1366 socket thing

    From a lot of the post I've seen on the forums the 950 seems to be the better buy atm.  As for memory I choose Mushkin Blacklines for my 930 build. 

    i7 930 OC 4.21 
    EVGA E758 
    GSkill 12GB
    Evga GTX 780 SC
    2x Kingston 240 Raid 0
    2x Seagate 4TB

    i7 920 if you can find them still (4ghz+ with no effort) and for ram any name brand with low timmings and at least 1600mhz+.

    I almost always buy DDR3 200 Memory kits just for some more overclocking headroom.  G.SKill is my favorite and most around here that do use it seem to have very good luck with it.

    Yup, I got the same deal through Amazon for $279 after $100 rebate (although I think their sale already ended). For some reason they are really trying to get rid of those 4xsli   :|

    From all the reading ive done the 920 has/had the best OC'ing. I personally would go with the 930 over the 950. I use Mushkin Redlines and love them.

    Intel Core I7 4930k
    G-Skill Ripjaws 16gb 1866mhz
