Just looking for some feedback on this build or waiting on the X79 and Sandy Bridge i7 3930.  I want to leave options open for future upgrades. Pure gaming rig with some screwing around on the internet.   I play mostly MMO's but with some 1st person shooters thrown in, and I want to crank the settings.  1080p but in the future might go to a big 2560.  No rush but I find myself being sucked into the being scared to pull the trigger syndrome. Did I hear Kepler anyone, lol.

looks good to me, if you don't need tri sli, no real reason to wait for x79. unless the 2560 x 1600 is like a year or so away.
