"It won't exactly be a paper-launch, small quantities will be available for purchase, and only through select AIC partners. Quantities will pick up in later months"

They will be pricey at launch but as-long as you are ready for it and order your card on day 1 you'll get one.

March 22nd is the launch date for the GTX 680 2GB version. Just letting you know. The price should be around $560 USD.

$560 + everything else you're getting, which I presume is going to be high-end?

If you want the best, i7. In reality you would not notice the difference between an i5 2500K and a i7 2600K the difference is so slight only a benchmark could tell the difference.
