    Help... Need Recommendations

    Hi, I just recieved all my parts for my build which consist of:

    Asus P67 evo board
    i5 2500K
    Gskill cl7 2133 ram.

    I didn't know about the intel problems with the mobos before I ordered them. Just wondering if I should send everything back and wait till the fix, or wait till the new platform? Or should I just use everything, and send in the board for RMA when the time comes? I am really interested in seeing how far the processor will clock. It's a L045A912 batch, and seems to overclock well according to the other people that have them. I just don't wanna risk sending this one back, and getting one that won't overclock as well. Any thoughts?

    I would keep the parts to use as planned and then exchange the board when the replacements are made.
