I think I can wait for 4 days to see how much I can save, but what I'm concern about, my GPU, is it a good GPU? and other parts, are they in good line up? can't make my decision as per my very little experience with PC parts.

when I'm not OC ing, which memory speed is good for me?

and which monitor size is recommended for playing games and encoding?
 
if you dont wanna oc then its not worth getting the 975 the 950 will do fine or if you wanna oc and save money get the 920 and oc it to 3.33 or more gettting to 3.5 on an i7 is trivial these days

OK i will go for i7 950 to save some €, as I'm not planning on sly, which quality board will match all my need?

P6T6 WS REVOLUTION
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R

I'm looking for best quality board for my work station.

and which monitor size is recommended for playing games and encoding?
 
well the asus is good and on the choice for the velociraptors they not that fast anymore since they got old most modern 7200rmp drives will match it even beat it in some cases try an get a samsung f3 they brand new came out few weeks ago but if you want fast ssd's are the way to go its the fastest money can buy you can also look into the evga boards
