Hey Challenger
I would like to give some useful suggestion
If you do not plan to go for SLI/CFX gaming in the future
Then seriously go for an "i7 870" instead of 'i7 930'
reason: 870 performs better than 930,920 in both applications and gaming. 870 draws lot lesser power reducing current bills and making lesser harm to environment.
870 core clock is 2.93Ghz(3.6 TB) vs 2.8 of i7 930(3.0 TB)
ref:
Intel's Core i7 870 & i5 750, Lynnfield: Harder, Better, Faster Stronger - AnandTech :: Your Source for Hardware Analysis and News
If u plan for sli or cfx, even then go for i7 870.
870 uses lga1156 mobos. 930 uses lga1366 mobos.
lga1156 goes x8 for its pcie lanes when connected in SLi/CFX.
and lga1366 retains x16 when in SLI/CFX.
So, Theoretically sli in lga1366 must run games at double speeds but practically the difference is always either nil or 1-2 fps diff.(Only in sli/cfx but not when using single graphic card) The diff is so less coz of the unique architecture of i7 870.
lga1156 mobos are cheaper than lga 1366
ref: forgot the links of reviews that shows sli/sfx in both lga1366 and 1156 as same.But believe me, its true and i saw the results in a number of sites.
If you plan to buy a hex core processor in future for the same mobo , then go for lga1366. Coz it has got support for hex core.
Also,lga1366 supports triple channel rams and 1156 support double channel. So buying 1156 will make you pay lesser for rams.
Note: running 4gb(2x2) vs 6gb(3x2) makes no differences in gaming or apps unless u do huge multitasking. This is proven everywhere just google and u see results. GO for Corsair 1600Mhz

If u are still interested in i7 930 despite lesser performance, higher costs for mobos, rams & higher electricity bills, Then i suggest you to take i7 950 instead of 930. coz both cost almost same now.
i7 950->
Intel® Core? i7-950
Also, go for hd5870 instead of gtx480. Every game u play with highest settings enabled will show up greatly with 5870. gtx 480 is ofcourse faster than 5870 but at a cost of higher price, wattage, extreme fan noise and heat. If in future u want more power than u can simple add an xtra 5870
in cfx as prices drop.5870 does seriously great jobs in video or application editings
keybrd-> i would prefer razer lycosa or Microsoft sidewinder
mouse-> i like Microsoft sidewinder x5 or x8
mobo-> go for MSI P55 GD85( 11000/-)-excellent
Dont waste money for extreme motherboards unless u do benchmarkings in games, apps and overclock your CPU by 30%.
psu-> go for corsair750W. energy efficient & supports tri sli/cfx
casing-> i prefer NZXT phantom(got great reviews everywhere)
NZXT Phantom Crafted Series Cabinet
heatsink: Noctua C12P-SE14 140mm Fan -(Great results and very low noise,fits most mobos and in many types of cases).buying corsair h50is risky, i read reviews of leakage in newgg.com)
save the money with corei7 870 and HD5870 and invest in the following
headphones-> i like senheisser hd595.
sound card-> asus xonar st
And do not forget do buy a surge protector. Get a belkin gold surge protector. Protect ur high investment.(i dont work for belkin)
If u r still left with more money to spend, donate it to poor people..
Regarding monitor:
Dell ultrasharp is very good but one drawback is it has 8ms response time which makes fast moving objects shaky to see. Not good for me. But i dont own it actually. So anyone owning it, pls can u tell if this drawback is clearly making visible diff?.
I would actually prefer HP2310.excellent overall
