Well if you all believe that the corsair above is good enough I'll get it. I still have a little while until the UPS comes and picks up items at newegg so I'm listening to all opinions still!

ill be running the corsair 520 with an 8800 ultra, 4gb ram, watercooling quad core cpu and 24" monitor.

^^ so it should be plenty good. modular is sweet bonus

520hx is more quiet than the 620hx
but they have the exact same amperage and the 620hx has like 2 more 4-pin molex and is louder

Alright I purchased the Corsair PSU!

Oh and what is G0 stepping?

As for overclocking, I definantley will! I'll have to figure out what extra I'll need to do for cooling and how exactly to overclock. (Totally new to the oc area) And of course I'll take some pictures for you all. The setup will look great!

excellent PSU you ordered there. Good parts all round.
G0 stepping is just a name for a revision of the Q6600 cpu.. its a new modified version.. apparently more power effecient = less heat = more overhead to overclock. Basically thats a good chip to overclock

Yeh man get into overclocking.. its not very hard now days.. i suggest reading up some tutorials to get you started.. the do's and dont's so to speak. There definately more performance to be squeazed out them components.

Put her together man and were waiting to see the final result

xfire and 2 3870s for better performance, then 9.5/10

 

[Blitersety]

I think that at the time of the original posting the 3870's weren't available

 

[Deadpixel]

I would have changed ram and motherboard

 

[mgcook]

get the new 780i since you are running two GT's. go ahead and take advantage of the PCI-e 2.0

also. look into some better ram. i.e Crucial, GSkillz, Patriot, Mushkin, or OCZs

 

[Blitersety]

mgcook, how much of a performance boost do you think the extra bandwidth of pci-e 2.0 would give?
