Other than the CPU (I am using a 5 yr old i7-2600K overclocked to 5 gHz, you have described my system. I recently built a system EXACTLY like yours, but with an NVidia Quadro 2200, and it FLIES! When it is not overclocked, however, it is no faster than my 5 yr old system.
I do not have mine overclocked and it still flies.
