I am the night...I am...
i7 930 supports ddr3 frequencies upto 1600mhz and even more.
gsod stands for "grey screen of death" which haunts ati hd 5 series due the gddr5 faulty memory chips. Ati has released a hotfix in its latest catalyst.

I recommend you to stick with gtx 460 1gb and you can later on sli two 460's which can even beat two 5870's in crossfirex.

hi, 65k is enough money to build a new and high configuration pc, you can build pc more cheap if you go for assembling by yourself.

@OP
why are you confusing yourself when you've already got advice on another forum! :|
we have already told you trichannel isn't compatible with 870!
also i would suggest you to go with an IPS LCD Pannel!
