Thoughts? I've compliled this based on mainly reviews here at Anandtech.
I'll link these items up if you want. All are probably gonna be via Newegg, if they get the mobo and proc in stock. Probably order date of early-mid september, but would like to finalize the list asap.
[EDIT: Here's the wishlist URL, minus the mobo and proc, as they aren't in stock. Newegg Wishlist]
