I need some input my Aunt has asked me to build a computer for my uncle, who mainly computer programs, for his birthday. I have heard great things about the Core i7 920 and its ability to be overclocked. I am looking to have it overclocked to at least 3.2ghz for daily use.

This is the setup I have come up with so far after reviewing a ton of sites and forum boards and need some suggestions:

Case: Antec Nine Hundred or Antec Three Hundred(Open To Suggestions)
Case Cooling: 5 Scythe Ultra Kaze controlled by a SunBeam Rheobus-Extreme
CPU Cooling: Vigor Monsoon III LT, Noctua NH-U12P, or other(Need Suggestions)
CPU Compound:Arctic Silver 5
Mother Board:MSI X58 Eclipse SLI or Asus P6T Deluxe/OC (Need Suggestion)
Memory: What speed and amount should I use?, Limited to 3gigs max due to Vista 32bit preference(
Video:MSI-R4870-T2D512 OC(Open to Suggestions)
Power:Corsiare CMPSU-620HX(Open to Suggestions)
Operating System:Vista 32bit (reason is programing issues with 64 bit)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
