Looks like a solid build at the moment. Only suggestion would be maybe to wait out for the new NVidia cards to come out, and possible ivy to come out with possible price drops for the SB CPUs

Heard the Ivy is coming out on Monday. About what time do you think the new Nvidia cards will be out?

Also, any thoughts on P67 vs Z68 Asus motherboards for a 2500k? Wondering if the z68 is overkill.

Z68 is useful for SSD Cache and onboard video. I like the idea of onboard video incase something fails, so I prefer Z68.
