You may regret it when they bring out proper drivers for it...
Your call though.

Make your own thread. We'll help you out from there.

And the 680i... horrible and outdated mobo.

lmao, horrible and outdated? if you want to use a core 2 duo, SLI, and ddr2 RAM (none of which are "outdated"), what mobo do you suggest?

what makes the 680i horrible and outdated?

680i chipset, it's one version back from 780i. Really, it will do fine for cheap money. Q6600 isn't new, 8800GT isn't that new, so what's your problem with the chipset?

EDIT: @headcrabCAKE

I'll leave you a notice in here when I get it, but I have to wait untill the company gets the VGA coolers seeing they don't know when they will get them in.

And the CPU cooler is just a regular Scythe Infinity (available at almost every shop that has a computer in it somewhere). If you want to add another 120mm fan on it, you order the Scythe Fan Clips as well as a 120mm fan of your likings (I chose; Scythe Slip Stream 1900RPM)

For the price might as well get a X38. Advantages over it:

Newer
45nm compatibility
PCI-E 2.0
Probably better overclocking abilities.

Go ahead and do 3.2GHz. It's ridiculously easy. I OCed mine to 3.2 the first day I owned it and it passed 24hrs of prime with a small voltage bump over stock.
