Hey all,

OS HD

Second HD

I think you should be good. I play Rift at 1920x1200 with full AA on a GTX470.

Just a heads up.
A 2600K won't fit in the R3Formula.

UGH. That's what I was afraid of. What motherboard should I be considering? I admit to being confused by the whole Sandy Bridge debacle.

Nevermind. I see that I need a 1155 socket board. Anyone, know if there are Asus in the channel yet? Everywhere I check are still backordered.
