I'm currently looking for parts for building an i7 rig, and here are the parts I was thinking of:

CPU: i7 2600K - $317
Edit - MOBO: Asus Maximus Extreme IV - $295
GPU: Ati Radeon HD 6950 - $309
COOLER: CORSAIR CWCH50 - $79
Edit -RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB - $109
Edit -POWER SUPPLY: Rosewill BRONZE Series RBR1000-M 1000W - $129
Edit -CASE: COOLER MASTER HAF 932 - $139

I don't need to buy a harddrive or a cd drive, I'll just use the 1TB drive from my dual-core athlon.

RAM: Kingston Hyper X DDR3 16GB @1600
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 480

Case: Take a look at antec and cooler master cases

Power supply: 600 watts or higher, get a modular unit, and make sure it's from a reputable brand (antec, corsair, ocz, enermax, just to name a few).

cooler master scout is the best,

check out newegg, the have combo deals with the setup you already have, is like 10-20% cheaper than buying separated, I have something like this and I can run everygame, dolphin, black ops at full speed and max seetings.

I have that coolermaster scout case, I like it better than the antecs. The antec 300 was noisy as fook.

Powersuppy: Make sure its 80+ (Bronze or even Gold). 600Watt is to small. Id recommend 700 minimum. You should also watch for a brand with good warranty. Coolermaster has 5 years I think.

Look for 80 PLUS when buying PSU (power supply). I like Corsair brand and their modular design.

Oh, no I'm not in a rush. I might wait about a week or two, so I might reconsider and go with the i7 2600K.

On a side note: Is the new sandy bridge much better than the current 1366? it only supports dual channel memory instead of triple channel memory.
