The Intel i7 Is the Big Winner in this match-up.
You should look at the EVGA X58 mobo. And the i7 has a triple channel memory controller so you should be looking for a 3 or 6GB set of memory (3x1GB or 3x2GB).
And dump the Zalman Cooler, Look for the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme or the new Cooler Master V8
