Bah, I know dx11 itself doesn't increase memory usage. I'm just saying the newer high end games (which will most likely be utilizing dx11) will use a lot of VRAM. That's all I meant :P I should have been more clear.

Wait erocker, do you run eyefinity with those cards. What res?

I understand not wanting to use ebay. I've had problems with some sellers a long time ago. Recently I've had good fortune though. I bought my second 6GB 3x2gb dominator kit off ebay brand new for $48.50. More than 50% retail price.

Everything on your list looks very nice though. Personally I wouldn't change anything except for the RAM & the case, but you are set in stone on that case. It is sweet regardless. Are you going with the XSPC RASA kit? IF so which one?
