Haha. What mobo? You can do slick combos there you know.

I had already ordered the ASUS z77 and RAM. Should hopefully be able to put this thing together mid next week. Really excited.

Very nice. Gonna be great!

Hmm... this concerns me:

That Microcenter deal looks even more attractive now.

That is what I'm afraid of too. Back before I got my 2500K in October I was planning on waiting for Ivy. I am so glad I didn't if this is true not to mention I've had my computer for over 6 months, since it will finally be released.

meh, overclocking.

My primary concern is on the TDP number there. Cooler and quieter any day, when the CPU is good enough anyway.

I spent 10 minutes in my bios and managed to get my 2500K stable at 4.5GHz. I have a Thermalright Venomous X in there with a Scythe Gentle Typhoon. Its pretty cool and quiet...

Sandy Bridge is too easy to overclock to let it sit there. Touch it... you know you want to.
