The CPU and Motherboard are over kill and a waste of money for a gaming rig. X58 is also a finicky unstable platform!

I recommend these

Motherboard

Dual Core Processor
or
Quad Core Processor
Quad Core is really not important for gaming but if you must have it!

Ill also be doing a lot of broadcasting and will be encoding in h.264, I should of mentioned that as well. Can you guys let me know if the dual channel ram will be compatible with my new mobo or do I need to get triple channel memory? Thanks for all the input.

If you are in fact going to be using X58, you should use triple channel. I recommend you save money and get a more stable P55 platform with an i5-750 or i7-860.
