Ok so I'm going to have a bout $1,000 to upgrade my computer.

Currently im using
Lian li case
q9550 aircooled Thermalright UE Black
evga 780i mobo Sad
4GB DDR2
evga gtx 580
Antec 1000w psu but doesnt have long enough 4pin mobo power or the bigger 6 or 8 they offer now i think.
some HDD's

I'm looking to reuse the case, videocard, and powersupply.

I would like to add in a SSD, just a budget one at the least for the OS, and like, 1 or 2 games to fit that I play the most.

guidelines:

Intel board that supports SLI, has to look decent, higher end cpu and maybe a corsair h80 or h100 for cooling, might build a real h20 cooler in down the road, i want to get to or as close to 5Ghz and like a 4.5Ghz 24/7 stable overclock for everyday useage, and 16+GB of ram. left over money could go towards a Corsiar ax1200 psu and or upgraded SSD over a small one.


My biggest problem is I don't really know what board chipsets are where it's at. I'm going to assume Ivy Bridge.
