Video Card/Computer Build Discussion

On March 22, Nvidia releases its Geforce GTX 680, the next card in its line of high-end video cards. Last time, when the GTX 590 was released around the same time last year, it sold out in the US in just a WEEK. So if anybody wants a 680 they better grab it tomorrow (I'm posting this from the EST time zone, so it's still Wednesday). I felt like posting this because I felt it was the best way of notifying people of the release that I would share common interests with (IC2). So if anybody here wants a new video card just released from Nvidia with all the newest tech they give, you better hurry and I mean DON'T hesitate.

Edit: Changed Forum title from 580 to 680, it was a typo

Edit #2: Changed title from "Geforce GTX 680 to be Released March 22!!!" to "Video Card/Computer Build Discussion"

Update: Just finished doing an unboxing video for my GTX 680. I ended up getting it off TigerDirect.com like 2 weeks ago. (It's always sold out on Newegg). I hope to finish doing all the unboxing videos for my computer parts and actually BUILD my computer on Satuday (4/12/2012). I look forward to many hours of HD Skyrim

That's honestly like 40 times faster than my 4 year old 400€ computer. Not like that is required to run skyrim as even I can run it on ultra at around 25fps.

The build is hyper-future-proofed. Honestly, I think I'd sooner throw away this computer than sell it as used parts. By the time it becomes obsolete and useless, I probably would've gotten a good 6+ years of max-graphics gaming. Let me just say I am not afraid to give up my precious 680 if I need to. But rumor has it that Galaxy will be coming out with some single-slot 680s, so I could use them for SLI. If they don't, however, I'll go for the best dual GPU on the market when my video card begins losing it's pizzazz and either the dual-gpu Maxwell or AMD equivalent is available (and I'm SURE that I wouldn't be able to get anything better for the GPU).
