I plan on getting one on launch date. I believe I will be going with the X79-OC from Giga, but I will have to see what ASUS offers also. Even though their P8P67-Pro left a bad taste in my mouth but the Max IV Extreme I have is just a dream!
The hard decision is weather to get the 3960x or the 3930k. only main difference is the 3mb of extra L3 cache is that worth 400+ dollars more? I am not thinking it is.RIG:i7-3770k @4.6Ghz/ASUS P8Z77 Deluxe/GSkill DDR3-2400/2xHD7970/Vertex 4/SSonic Plat 1000/H100/HAF XB

I don't know, I really don't think they would charge an extra 500 for just 3MB of cache considering both are unlocked. I was also thinking 3930k myself paired with either the UD5 or Asus Rampage IV. I just gotta hope my phase change CPU mount will work still.
