I am planning on building a new machine for myself in the very near future.
I want to use it at home for HD Video editing and fotos, but since i like good graphics i also might play a game here anf there.
Other than that it will be used by the kids for emails and Internet.
I am not planning on overclocking straight ahead but i am thinking if getting the Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Cooler for OC.

Ok so i am torn between 1156 and 1366 but i musta dmit i am more leaning to teh 1366
My biggest concern is the Motherboard for the 930 at the moment. Iw anted to go with the UD3R but must admit i have read that loads of people have a lot of issues with it that i am leaning more to the asus board.
Has anyone epxirience with the ASUS PX58AD-E or Premium.
The other big question is, is it worth waiting for the new Intel Socket and Chipset coming out late this year and mid next year replacing both 1156 and 1366 ?
Any comments feedback or expirience with any of these parts are very appreciated
