Default Should I invest in a x58 760 Classified

I have been looking to buy a Classified for a long time, though its not available in my country and importing from US is a costly proposition but the benefits of Classified are undeniable for Extreme Overclocking.

Classified 760 would cost me, Price(~400$ + Shipping(50-60$) + Customs (30% of the Price). I can already push my i7 950 to ~51xx Mhz for 2d runs and around ~5Ghz for 3d run on DICE. I havent yet reached the BCLK limit of the mobo but I guess I am either limited by cooling or maybe overall the Board, its a MSI Pro-E board.

I still have to buy a LN2 Dewar, GPU Pots and maybe down the line the best graphic card available.

So what would you guyz do if you were in my place??? Invest in Classified and then buy a Dewar or buy the Dewar and Pots and then think about the mobo???

Thanks for your suggestion....
