That s a nice setup you have there. I like how the blue looks really clean with the case.

Nice! Very Nice! I have a friend with the H60 on his machine, he likes it very much, And I think It's a great cooler as well. What were your issues reaching 1600 mhz on those DDR3's? Are they rated for 1600 operation?

yes, problem is, if I set the xtreme memory profile, my rig will go into a boot loop, but w/out a buzz DX, so it must be at 1333, but its fine, its still fast, and I have double the memory I did before. lol. So how goes the getting the Antec Kuhler h2o 920?

Boot loop eh? I've had problems like that before, When I put 1600 DIMMS into a board that only supports 1333. Kind of annoying if you ask me, and I have looked into that cooler, I haven't bought any high performance parts in a while 
I kind of need a new motherboard as well, There was an instense lightning storm that kind of fried everything. So I plan to buy a Z68 when ever I can.

Z77 motherboards are pretty nice, they're sandy bridge compatible, and newer. I would just discourage ivy bridge unless you get some ridiculous cooling, due to the heat issues of the ivy bridge.

Ivy bridge is too new for me, I think it has some problems that intel needs to adress. But their isn't a wide variety of Z77's to choose from, I'm not a real fan of gigabyte and they seem to make a lot of them. But I did come across an EVGA that I was rather fond of.

I like some MSi mobos myself, but I am going to wait until Intel releases their intel Haswell processors to make a new system

I like your thinking! But I hope those don't turn out to be premature.

In my personal i5 system, I was able to overclock to 3.6 GHz alright, and I just overclock from the bios, I don't install their stuff except for the requirements to make the system run properly

Not bad, I was kind of dissapointed when I tried overclocking on an EVGA board, and they only had somethinig called a "dummy overclock" and two frequencies that you could run. Making it impossible to pass a certain speed.
