Are you getting an aftermarket CPU cooler that does push/pull, clearing those Vengeance sticks might get tricky...unless you go for water cooling

Those benevolent armchair philanthropist Redditors are at it again! Four days ago a 'self' post extolling the potential virtues of a Backup Day exploded with 2500 upvotes and 1000 comments -- and now World Backup Day 2011 is actually happening.

On March 31, as part of the global data-saving initiative, you are encouraged to back up all of your cherished photos and videos, and important documents. If you've ever had a hard disk fail, and not had a backup to fall back on, you'll know that it's a bit like losing a sizable fragment of your soul. If you've never backed up your important files -- or if you only back up sporadically -- do it on World Backup Day!

It's not hard to back up your data, either. A 2TB drive costs only a fistful of dollars, and it takes just a few minutes to set SyncToy for Windows, or Time Machine for Mac, to mirror your data every night. If you prefer a cloud-based solution, there's always SugarSync and Dropbox. Finally, don't forget that Bundlelytic has a charity giveaway for three excellent data-backup-and-recovery tools -- $160 of software for only $25, and 100% of the proceeds to go the Japanese Red Cross.

For even more backup options, for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, check our list of 13 great backup programs.

[atlien seeko]

I'm trying to wait til Battlefield 3 system requirements are released before I do any major upgrades, but I'm getting kinda impatient... Does anybody have a good estimate of what BF3's requirements will be? Any "safe" upgrades I can cop right now that will be pretty much sure to run the game at least 40+fps (CPU/mobo/GPU)? Thanks.

You could probably look at a game like Crysis 2's requirements and get a good idea.
