I'll be taking an Intel Core i7 Quad 920 2,66GHz with the mobo, as it is the only 1366-compatible processor they have on the site (lol). By the way, how is Intel Core i7 Quad 920 2,66GHz (1366) compared to Intel Core i7 Quad 860 2,8GHz (1156)?

well I have the 920 and its absolutely fantastic. I would go with the 920. From what I have heard, its a better overclocker but both are almost equal. Good choice on the lga1366 mobo as well

Gigabyte EX58-UD3R is the only Gigabyte mobo they have which is 1366. They also have ASUS P6T DELUXE V2 i7.
Also, they don't have any SATA3 HDs. What is the difference between SATA2 and 3?
EDIT: I found another site which has SATA3. I could buy it in a separate order if it's worth it. WD Caviar Black WD1001FALS
EDIT2: They also had the mobo.

I'll be taking that one, then.

Ok. I'll have to buy the mobo from the other site anyway, so I might as well go for the SATA3. Barely costs more

I went for the Cooler Master Dominator cabinet instead, as it's cooling system is much better than the other one.

Guys, I'm going to be using my "old" monitor, a 19" LCD of some sort. Not sure of the full name atm. On the GPU, it says that "One of the monitors must be connected via DisplayPort." Is this something which is on the monitor?

And is it 1366? On the top of the page, it says that it's 1366 but further down it says that it's 1136. It is also cheaper, so I'll go for that, then.
