Well, I hope everything I posted helped. In the future you might want to go with a mATX p67 or z68 with a after market CPU cooler, stock speeds on a 2500k will last for a while, so you won't see any improvement OCing right now.
Yeah it did; I got interrupted responding to your posts.

OK so for a while now I wouldn't get much benefit from OC'ing now, but for the more distant future I should get a P67 or Z68 to OC?

Also that video card is a behemoth! Honestly I'm bit sure there's enough room for it in the case. And it's a bit more than I was thinking about spending in the video card alone. I have a candidate in mind but I'm not at home so I don't have the model # with me. I like the other suggestions and will compare them to what I was looking at
