This mobo plus this ram?

yea, Corsair is new to the PSU market, but their PSUs are rock solid. PC&C are awesome too, if you can afford them. It looks like you can, but it's unnecessary, when Corsair is cheaper, and just as reliable. Everybody would agree.

How about... Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 EPS12V EPS12V 610W Continuous @ 40°C Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, cUL, CE, CB, TUV - Retail

Consider it will run 40* C unlike the corsair model that ran at 50* C. Not only that, 50 dollar instant savings.. $$$...


Now, will that be enough to run SLI'd 8800GTX's?

 

[b1gapl]

That would be fine, and yes...it can handle SLI'd 8800GTX. wow...it went down in price.

 

[PanzerKammander]

Ok, coolness. I still have 98 dollars.. I was thinking about adding an extra gig of that crucial memory on for 89.00?

 

[b1gapl]

I would use it on something else, or just save it. Again, 2gb of ram is optimal for everything right now, even for Vista.

 

[PanzerKammander]

Even for Battlefield 2 on vista?

Waa! I wanna buy stuff..

 

[b1gapl]

lol...calm down. Save money, for your upgrade to Phenom.

Yes...plenty enough for BF2 on Vista, at the highest settings. Everyone would agree.

 

[PanzerKammander]

-_-

Fine, so total is 1,901 thats with an artic freezer 64 pro and some as5 thrown in for good measure...

b1gapl youre kinda right but kinda wrong lol.
amd's dont need to be 1:1
the divider system of amd is completely screwy dude...very confusing until you study it for awhile
for example:
if a rig is running 250mhz external clock, ram set at ddr2 800, cpu multi at 11, ht multi at 4
250 x 11 = 2750mhz/7(the divider for ddr2 800 setting)=ram is running at 392mhz. the ht link (ldt) will be 250 x 4 = 1000 (doubled to 2000) mhz. so, plenty of headroom to run the ram as fast as possible with no bottleneck. he could run it at ddr2 2000 theoretically. lol woot woot thats fast.
the hypertransport is amd's ram "pathway" if you will.
the ht will be 2000mhz on that cpu, so in theory he has a s***load of headroom. you can drop the ht multi to 3 (from 5) and still get full usage of the ram.
lol 533 clockspeed aint unlikely on that cpu...more like impossible.

lol...thanks for clearing that up, even though it's a little more confusing than Intel's way.
