I take it you got the i7 965.

I'll be starting my build in January. Of course with a lower spec i7. I for one don't need all that power of the EE, it will be quad+ however.

On a side note, If it were me I'd hang on to the single 280 for a PPU and Cpu off load. All those cores will come in handy when all the kinks are worked out and the OS and apps can use them efficiently.
