Before I start, thanks to Isladar for allowing me to post links. Now then.
First off: I am new to this, this is my first build as I always just pre-ordered PC's but want to learn. I have had a friend teaching me and have learned a lot, but also have a lot to learn.
I already have some of the stuff purchased, and was unsure of the other parts hence the bulk of my post.
Please correct me on anything I do or say that is wrong, I am posting this to learn how to be efficient and know the facts.
With that said, the build:
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119160
-Have already.
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813131641
-Not sure about this one, I know nothing. I just saw the usb 3.0 and figured it would be useful in the future. Also I know the socket matches up for the cpu so it's compatible and has triple channel ram which is what I will be getting.
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-225-_-Product
-Read 930's are good for overclocking. Ideally I'd like to sit at 4.0ghz so I will overclock this even though I've never done so before.
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822145276
-Was on sale for a bit, picked it up already.
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145286
-I was most likely going to pick up one 2gb x3 kit, but I'm not sure if I should be getting a 2000mhz set or if the 1600mhz set. Thoughts?
Heatsink: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106150
-I have 2 options here, I go with the above listed and oc on air or I use this which people here seem to like:

-Again, not sure which is better. Give me your thoughts.
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-006-_-Product
-Already purchased.
Thermal Grease: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?Sku=O261-8086
GPU: Not sure on this one, looking at these 3 options. Will probably go with the 5970 so I can dual gpu without needing to buy a second one.

As I said, all comments/suggestions/rude remarks welcome - I want to learn.
Currently I am walking out the door to dinner, so I will check any replies when I get back.
Thanks.
