The motherboard is the weapon of choice for gamers and overclockers at the moment according to the reviews etc and the CPU is the best for a gaming platform currently. But this should eat its way through practically everything thrown at it......
Once the watercooling kit addons are available I will add cooling for 2 of those 8800GTX cards and ram and crank up the volume on those..... should be set for a long time to come before any upgrades need doing.
