If anybody has any suggestions on how to improve the system, please let me know.Peter

I can't see what's the point of a UD7 if it's not to use the nf200 for a tri-sli

Just picked up an i5-2500k and MSI motherboard myself :)

Be aware that the Maximus Extreme needs a huge case to fit it into, there are some out there, but not too many. Look for E-ATX cases.

I thought the same re ud7, but top boards seem to get better more frequent bios updates (useful with this new tech and oc'ing) plus it has three levels of llc, which helps greatly ocing!
