Please help me with this hi-end comp :)

An 8600 Ultra wont be very expensive, I was on a budget of 850 and i fit in a 7900GS for that price on a 450w Rosewill. I say he could get 500w and that would be plenty enough for the new couple of years.

480-500w would be more than enough for something running an 8600. it is a sound investment getting a decent power supply and that can't be stressed enough. there is no argument that a cheap generic psu can get the job done, however it is a gamble. true name brand power supplies die but that's less likely and also less likely to do harm to your system if it does occur.

I'm curious about this too. right now i've got a PCI wireless network adapter in my shopping cart...if this will take the place of that, then i'm going to drop the network card and just get this mother board...right now i've just got the P5B Deluxe...
