haha sorry 😀 and I found some more information for it, not sure if it is official though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkFiGEs_oqM

I'll probably wait for this card - looks like a massive improvement to Fermi cards.

The gigabyte mobo is a good recommendation. Other than that, you've got a good build and you've done your homework. It's important to define your mission, and then build to suit that mission and I think you've done that. Don't worry about SSD and having a graphics card that will launch a space shuttle.

Yeah, I think that is definitely the best way to go about speccing a computer . And thanks for the sound advice!

Yes and I am looking at the GTX660 which by my leak slide it equal to a GTX580. I cant wait as my old video card is 8800GTX and really needs a major boost.
