Yeah, I'm most definitely going EVGA. GTX280 FTW to be exact. I wanna go with that version to assure I get a high speed binned GPU that I know will OC really well. I'm putting good watercooling on my GPU and CPU so i want to get the most out of it. lThis system will be built on release of the new Nehalem. At least it will be ordered then, and not a day later. I've already put a build off a year and I MUST have this system built this year...absolutely must.

I think I may just wait past the October 22nd date and see what happens. The rebate plan is good through Oct 31st so I still have a bit of time. I feel like they may not have any rebates during the Christmas sales rush and I don't wanna get caught by Christmas pricing. 40 bucks is a substantial savings.
