If there was any truth to this it wouldn't really be a rumor :P

Who knows, but I've left my PC on for 24/7 for 5 years and it's still running.

Nothing definitive from Nvidia, but tech rumors this close to a launch are usually pretty credible. Even if it's not a PAX launch, it would still be around that time frame.

Only real uncertainty I have is the actual price point.

Last quick question -

How do we feel about getting another Samsung 960 m.2 hard drive solely for the OS? Maybe a 250GB for the OS (I don't think they make a 128gb?) then the 500GB for the games and my 2x 2TB HDDs for general storage, (Video, Music, Photos, 600+ Hours of FRAPS)?

Or, should I just load the OS and games to the same 500GB 960 M.2 that i bought?

Stick with 1 if you need more space down the road get a second one~
