I got something quite similar: Asus Sabertooth X79, Intel core-i7 3930k,
and the same memory pack; I added an Intel 240G SSD and a CPU thermal
cooler, all in a CoolerMaster HAF 951 (currently on sale). It runs very
fast, reasonably quiet, and very cool. So far stable as can be. Haven't
tried anything with USB3 yet. Thanks to all for advice!
