Sounds like you should wait for SB-E/X79/LGA2011 to come out (should be soon). $2500 will get you a monster build.
Not very sure on GPU side, but my guess from the rumors is that Southern Islands and Kepler will both show up later in 2012.

$79.99 for 500R in white, and $84.99 for H100. Both from Memory Express after price-matching NCIX.

How are you bottlenecked by a hexacore 1100t? It should be fine for BF3 which is more GPU-demanding especially when you turn up AA/AF Posted via RS Mobile | |

IIRC the super crazy comprehensive BF3 benchmark on tom's hardware said even i3 processor was good enough...i honestly doubt your processor/mobo is holding you back

Cable management is my mortal enemy and I've sacrificed some blood to this build, haha. I'm loving the case though and it was an utter joy to build in. Now to finish making the cables neat...
