@mahatam....
You can go ahead but one thing... This board Ram slots are in odd place. so they might hinder you in future for after market coolers.. i7 proccy are very hot processors even with no OC ...becoz of High TDP. So if you want to go aftermarket coolers you will face problems with design.
It's better if you go with ASUS sabertooth ,it's coming for same price like Intel Mobo.. Anyhow Choice is yours.. Think once ....
EDIT: BTW, this board has e-sata complaints very well with old Revision... SO BIG NO, if you are about to use e-sata ports...

Ok so here is the thing.. My dad had suggest me to buy the machine by april.. So in that case i'll hav to wait for atleast 2 months..
But b4 that i got dis frm my engineer-
Processor- Intel Core i7 950@15200
Motherboard- Asus Sabertooth X58@13400
Ram- 2 x 4gb DDR3 1600 CORSAIR@6000(he dint get that kit)
Gfx- 6970 DDR5 2 GB ATI RADEON@26700 or HD6870@14400
Cabinet- COOLERMASTER USP-100 RED WITH 550 XTREME POWER@7500
Harddisk- Seagate 1TB 7200.12@2700
Optical Drive- LG 22x SATA DVD@900
From the look of things, this config plus sum other components is making me spend around 70k+(including 4% vat and also without monitor). So should i wait for 2 months or shall i go for it.??
P.S.- This is my existing system.
Mobo- Biostar TA780G M2+
Processor - AMD Phenom X3 8650 Tri-Core
Graphics Card - 9400GT 1GB DDR2
Ram - 2 X 2GB 1066 MHZ ZION RAM
HDD - 500GB 32MB BUFFER SEAGATE HARDDISK x 2
Cabinet - iBALL STUNNER with iBall LPE223-400 psu
Optical - LG 20X SATA DVD WRITER x 2
So wat shud i do now to survive for 2 months. As this is getting way too heated (temp going upto 80'-90' c) and the fan is running 10times faster than its supposed to b. So m getting a bit scared that ma cpu doesnt blast off or sumthing like that..

Yes wait for april. U will be able to get sandybridge mobo revisions by then and hence intel core i5 2500k + asus P8P67 @ 21k combo. Cheaper than current.
And change the psu to corsair vx550w and not that faulty cm extreme.
As for ur current rig remove the cooler and fix it again. It might be loose. And get an arctic silver mx2 for 300 bucks and apply on the procy surface after removing cooler. But dont forget to remove the current paste. Apply a thin and even layer on the processor.

ok mahatma paji. now i am writing that long post.

open the cabinet side panel. 2 screws. up and down. those thumbscrews in my case.
*img89.imageshack.us/img89/9648/image0083rq.th.jpg
you will see the insides. that white thing is psu. your might be placed up.
*img713.imageshack.us/img713/5734/image0084m.th.jpg
this is the cpu cooler.
*img341.imageshack.us/img341/6309/image0085pl.th.jpg
this blue thing fixes it to its place.
*img689.imageshack.us/img689/4710/image0086.th.jpg
*img10.imageshack.us/img10/6826/image0087i.th.jpg
open this blue thing. it is little hard. dont be rough. just take it to other side.
*img84.imageshack.us/img84/1816/image0088a.th.jpg
here you have the cooler removed. dont forget to remove the cooler wire from the motherboard.
*img689.imageshack.us/img689/1894/image0089d.th.jpg
this is cpu cooler. the black thing is fan and the white is heatsink.
*img828.imageshack.us/img828/6758/image0090x.th.jpg
this is its bottom. that silver thing is thermal paste. (in the centre)
*img72.imageshack.us/img72/990/image0091b.th.jpg
this is the processor. it has a silver coating on it. this is again the thermal paste.
get this thermal paste from this site only.
TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!ARCTIC COOLING MX-2 Thermal Compound - TheITWares
then get a iso propyl alcohol from near by chemist. use this to remove existing thermal paste from the cpu and the cooler. dont put it on the sides. just the top. be careful.
now put a thin and even layer on the surface of cpu.(the new paste). remember it is just to ease heat flow. too much can block the heat.
*img402.imageshack.us/img402/281/image0092w.th.jpg
*img819.imageshack.us/img819/9504/image0094.th.jpg
those silver squares are to be munted on the blue projections again (the blue thing. small squares). see (from where you removed them initially)
*img403.imageshack.us/img403/8027/image0095c.th.jpg
*img171.imageshack.us/img171/7784/image0096m.th.jpg
*img593.imageshack.us/img593/6760/image0097.th.jpg
close the blue thing again. dont forget to put back the wire. in the cpu fan pinout written on mobo. and close the side panel of cabinet with the screws.
got that?
