Thanks for the responses.

Regarding the 2133 ram, you've made me think twice now jayjay, what sort of issues are talking about here?

If you are not over clocking then you may want to drop down to the i7 2600 not 'k' version that only has easier overclocking. Then you can downgrade to the 1333 RAM. But if you are I'd consider getting it pre overclocked. Also you do realise that no game can use the power of your gfx card, perhaps consider getting the 580 then getting a second later and SLIing it

Hey guys and girls,

Just so you know, the 19-pin Internal USB 3.0 headers are now available on Cooler Master's European Website (www.coolermaster.nl). I contacted CM Support ([email protected]) and requested my long overdue cable.
All they asked for was the serial number on my HAF X and my address. I responded promptly and my Internal USB 3.0 Header cable is on its way! :) :)

So everyone with a P67 board (P8P67 Pro, Deluxe, ROG etc), contact Cooler Master support and request your free cable today! B-)

Cheers
