I would suggest Sandy Bridge over Ivy. Ivy doesnt have nearly the same OC head room as Sandy.

Ah fair enough. The only other thing thats stands out is the 4TB Hitatchi drive. 5400 RPM may be a little slow for heavy media read / write use.

the 7200 4tb nearly impossible to find sadly

well i been working on the config. via help form OC3d and my LAN Party group. i want speed, connectivity, reliability, gaming, multimedia.. i deiced i am also going to still use my corsair 800d and but a bunch of bitfenix alchemy blue braid extensions. the reason i thinking deluxe board will be good for me is i can raid 0 dual 120gb ssd for boot drive as well as run a 60gb with a 2tb programs/games cache drive setup. it also has wireless and blue tooth so i can trans fer files to my phone via blue tooth.
