Would you recommend waiting for the Gigabyte or going for EVGA? or even MSI (worth asking, I guess)?
Thanks,

To be honest, I'd start with a single GTX 670 and see if there's a need to go SLI after putting it through its paces. At 1080p there are few games that slow it down smile.gif (Since I see only a single monitor in your wishlist). Having the extra slot between the two cards and the side-intake of the HAF will be fine for a SLI setup, though.

Regarding some of the other components...
That MS X4 Sidewinder Keyboard has been great for me, but the keys start to lose their covering very quickly. The result is a mess of bloody-looking keys in the WASD area due to frequent use. Keystrokes are quite loud, too. Great keyboard overall, though.
That ram is a real treat to play with. I had mine at 1866 9-9-9-24 and 1.45v. I could have pushed it to 2133 @ 1.5v, I'm sure.
The Spinpoint F3 is a great HDD, I find it to be a little loud but the performance is spot on.
I'd avoid the HAF 932... it had its time in the sun, but there are other mid-ATX and full-ATX cases out there that'll get the job done while looking a bit more refined and offering expanded features. That's a personal preference, though.
Love the SSD, I have 2 256GB M4s and they are rock solid.

I just wanted to make a few unrequested comments while I was at it tongue.gif

Thank you a TON for all of that info. I actually have a thread open where I got a bunch of advice. I can quote you and reply over there to keep this thread on subject. If you would be up for it, I do have some questions, so if you could help I would be more than grateful.

Thank you very much,
Big Al

I saw that, too. Great news for other buyers smile.gif I could grab another one just to say that I have ridiculous power density, but I'm happy with the one that's on its way smile.gif My wallet is already mad enough at me. He says I overuse him and that he'd like a vacation :/

They just updated the product page for the EVGA FTW model, you can now pre-purchase it directly from Amazon for $419.

I'm liking the $420 price point. That card makes much more sense there. They could justify $430-440 by slapping a blackplate on there, I suppose. I'm not big on backplates, myself, unless they offer PCB support (which this design does not need) or cover memory modules or ugly-colored PCBs smile.gif

Yes, but none of their 670 cards have it, as all of their product codes end in "-KR".

From EVGA: http://www.evga.com/support/warranty/
Quote:
Long-term warranties are available to the original owner on applicable parts if registered by the original owner within 30 days of purchase. A valid invoice is required from an authorized reseller to verify any long term warranty. If parts with long-term warranty availability are not registered within 30 days of purchase, they will have a 3 year limited warranty.
Limited Lifetime Suffixes: -A1, -A2, -A3, -A4, -AR, -AX, -CR, -CX, -DX, -FR, -FX, -SG, -SX
Limited 10 Year Suffix: -XR
Limited 5 Year Suffix: -GR

Within 30 days you can purchase an extended warranty that will add +2 or +7 years, depending on MSRP of card (for the 670 cards, you're looking at $25 to add 2 years to the existing 3 (5 years coverage), or $50 to add 7 years to the existing 3 (10 years coverage). More info here: http://www.evga.com/support/warranty/extended.asp. For some people that may be "lifetime" - honestly though $12.50 per year isn't bad to add 2 years to the existing 3 year warranty. This should cover most people on OC who are likely not to hold onto the card longer than 5 years.

Looks like Amazon is carrying them, and they must be getting stock soon because they're allowing pre-orders (at least at time of this post): http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Dual-Link-DisplayPort-Graphics-02G-P4-2678-KR/dp/B0083Y6MV6/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1337816024&sr=1-3 (Quick sidenote: figures this happens AFTER I purchase at the $439.99 pricepoint from Newegg, as Amazon is my preferred vendor due to prime membership, and it's too late to cancel the Newegg order becuase it has already shipped).

What's interesting is that today Newegg dropped the price to $419.99 and Amazon is reflecting this price change as well. I wonder if EVGA has cut the MSRP of the FTW cards to make up for the SC cards issues?
