I own a Asus M5a99x Evo R2.0. So far so good and it's $115 AR on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A99X-EVO-R2-0-Motherboard/dp/B0091RA8U0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383499836&sr=8-1&keywords=Asus+M5a99x+Evo+R2.0

New Egg still has the Collector's Edition for pre order. I want this out so the scalpers on eBay can't jack up the price on those of us that actually want it for the right reasons.
I already own a 6870 looking to upgrade.
On Tuesday I'll have 16mb ram and a Amd 1090t(witch I plan to overclock w/ an Antec 20)
I can get another brand new 6870 for $160
I am looking to play SWTOR with this system with as much eye candy as possible on a Hans-G HZ281HPB 28" 1920 x 1200...
