On the mobo, I'm not really interested in multiple vid cards. I would like to get on board hi fi sound that will improve performance of my G930 Logitech surround sound though.
Personally I would wait for months (6 min) to do anything for BF3. Release date is in Nov. 2011 and I would expect that to move back (how many games actually release on time?)
In 6 months, anything you do today will be second tier. Sure you will be able to play it, but if you want max bang for bucks, just wait and buy in the fall or winter this year.
I disagree, if you wait to upgrade you just waste all the time you waited. No mater when you upgrade it will still be 2nd tier in six months, So bottom line if you need/want to upgrade just DO IT.
