I just went through this process myself a few months ago.
The i7 920 is the processor to go for - but heat is absolutely a concern, even without overclocking.
I moved my Zalman cooler from an older core2duo rig to this set-up, but it doesn't keep it nearly as cool as I would like.
Take a few extra bucks and get a nice heatsink & fan. At the time I was purchasing, the Thermalright (maybe thermaltake) heatsink was all the rage - but by now there must be better / more cost efficient ones on the market.
