What about the blu-ray burner and SSD?
I highly doubt that there is any objective evidence that the asus maximus VI extreme will last any longer than your currently selected board.
16GB of ram will be unnecessary for at least a few years possibly longer but if you're dead set on it go with 2x8GB for sure. It provides an upgrade path to 32GB and it's slightly cheaper. There are many good brands to choose from so just get one that's well rated, cheap, and has short heatsinks (so you can fit that massive HSF in there).
As far as monitors go in addition to the korean options for higher resolution you might also be interested in the 29" 2560 x 1080 ultra wide options for around $450:

Sockets LGA2011 (Intel xeon and i7 extreme), LGA1567 (Intel xeon), and G34 (AMD Opteron) all support it. So outside of servers the only way to get a quad channel ram setup right now is to get an Intel LGA2011 motherboard with a sandy bridge-E or ivy bridge-E cpu.
"Shamefur display!"
You're slowly convincing me to get one. But even if I managed to sell my current monitor and get say $100 for it I would still be looking at spending another $300-350 to get one of these things with a perfect pixel guarantee. I could upgrade my cpu and motherboard or video card for that much money. And then if it developed any dead pixels or bright/dark spots I would have to throw it out the window and begin praising satan for a job well done. There is hope of American manufacturers (yes I know they don't actually do the manufacturing in America) lowering their prices though: http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/acer_k2...nitor.html
$450 (only $50 more than most korean options are right now) and it's just around the corner.

RachelB Wrote:Depends on the seller. The one i bought from would replace it (for free) if there was more than 1 dead pixel in the middle, or 5 anywhere else. Most also offer an option to guarantee none for a bit more ($30-50 i think at the time, but dead pixels weren't that common, so i didn't bother).
