As I stated elsewhere get the X58MB with 6 slots (920 is fine), get 4G rams from the "Qualified Vendor List " put in 3 of them for now and when you are ready you get upgrade to 24G (whole wow folder in ram for no lag).

Im currently running an i7 920 (oc'd to 3.8) and i gotta say, it was an awesome improvement over my c2q q6600 (2.66ghz) im using the evga 3x classified mobo, (im also a bencher) but you cant go wrong with any of asus or evga's boards. as far as your gfx card goes, i think what you've selected would work well for you. and i 2nd the tip on getting all your mem at the same time, if you do get it at diff times make sure the timings are the same. with most ssd manufactures being on their 2nd or 3rd generation you can't really go wrong with any of them. the intel x25m's are awesome at the 4k random writes (what most actual tasks do) and the ocz drives are great for larger files, im using the OCZ Vertex II drives in raid 0 and i'm loving it. make sure you get a good tower style heatsink as well, (make sure you got the room in your case) i would reccomend the thermalright TRUE its one of the best air coolers out there and it will allow you to get pretty close to 4ghz with that 920/930 and not break a sweat. If you do go for a 24/7 overclock make sure you do the proper stability testing before you get too far into your app's tho. and don't forget to get a good power supply, that is one component most people don't think of when doing a new build. and trust me, you get what you pay for, Ultra makes some pretty decent single and multi rail PSU's and some of em even got a lifetime warranty. i would highly reccomend at least a 650w unit, that way you got a lil room for expansion if you decide to do so. if i can be of any further assistance, feel free to pm me anytime,

one thing to be aware of when trying to connect 3 monitors to one ati card is that one has to be a displayport one, since the card can only power two out of the three (2xdvi+hdmi) simulatenously :-)
