Not quite. I haven't added multiple Graphics Cards for SLIing yet, or watercooling for ultimate overclocking capabilities.

It will be utilized.

The motherboard is only effectively compatible with tri-channel DDR3, DDR2 RAM is useless on this board. Changing the RAM means changing the Motherboard, and vice versa.

Yeah, already looking into changing the Hard drive.

No, I'm buying insurance by building a powerful computer that won't outdate itself immediately up completion.

Now that the standard is officially Blu Ray, it's only a matter of time before it is fully utilized. Might as well invest in the drive now as I'm going to need to later anyway.

Looking into it, haven't decided yet.
