Forgot we had a thread here...

Game launches next Tuesday for everyone but for those of us who pre-purchased it begins this Friday night at midnight. Anyone here playing? I have about 10-12 friends/family joining me in playing and we're ready to go. I've even decided to pick up a new Asrock Z77 Extreme6 MoBo & i5 3570K CPU tomorrow at MicroCenter to up my FPS in WvWvW.

Care to explain?
I've read good things about it, and also came as a combo deal with the i5 3570K.

The few ASrock boards Ive used have been nightmare's.
They and ECS had a name for low quality components that
Would fail on the regular. You also know its bad when you
Have ASrock reps on a forum and one sends a PM saying
The two mainboards they had in primary rigs were Epox.
Granted that was some years ago. I've been out of the industry
A while but keep in mind - they're we're a handful of dumbasses
That at one point gave good reviews on Prescott CPU's and
Nvidia FX5800's.

Well I've done my research and a number of sites rated the Extreme4 edition one of the top boards earlier this year. After reading a number of reviews on the Extreme6 everyone has given positive feedback thus far (granted it's still very new).

By all means if its a good deal, then its a good deal. Perhaps their component/cap quality has improved. For your sake I hope its a wonderful board.

The 3570 IvyBridge?

Yes, and I am actually posting from the new rig now. Went pretty smooth and is running like a champ. Just need to get an SSD now and improve my cooling system for some overclocking.

Also, regarding GW2 - changing server to Crystal Desert due to Jade Quarry looking like it's going to be queue times...
