The more I read these threads the more I realise I am making a few mistakes with the pc I originally ordered so I was wondering if there is anything that I need to fix before its finally shipped.
price is originally $1560, wont go higher
monitor resolution at 1650x1050? whatever the resolution is lol
trying to go for the most recent stuff, no outdated hardware.
I only play 3 games, WWII online, left 4 dead, and Men of War. I am pretty sure all of them can run very well with a gtx 460.
Do i need to worry about the ram? I hear the I7 930 demands 6 gb of ram.
Should I choose the free OS boost and Video Card boost?
$1,561.00

The amount of RAM will be okay for you. The i7 930 doesn't "require" 6Gb. It's just a sweet spot.
The OS boost is not recommended as they turn some stuff off that you just might like. It's not necessary with the speed of these processors.
The video oc is okay in this instance, as you don't have one of the "screamers", and the mild oc DS puts on a video card just might help some.
You definitely should change to a Noctua 120mm Dual as it's both way better and CHEAPER than that V6.
I don't know why you want that USB wireless thingy. You realize it just sticks out the back of the rig, and doesn't even give you wireless-n? If you are wired to a router, you don't need that. If not, you will need something, but a pci card is better, and will give you wireless-n capability.
You could save a few more bucks on your case. The HAF 922 is pretty good, too, and saves $46. Enough for a pci wireless card....
