get one of these HDD's they are just about as fast as the raptor, or two to set up in RAID 0 if you want faster than raptor

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX ATX12V / EPS12V 750W Power Supply - Retail

Would that be a good power supply to power everything including the Q6600 overclocked and the 9800GX2?

Get the PC Power and Cooling 750W instead

 

[NightSurge]

I don't think that power supply will work for the 9800GX2, though. The gx2 requires an 8 pin PCIe and 6 pin PCIe power connection. I think the PC power and cooling only has the 6 pin PCIe.

Its a simple matter of using what if i recall is an included converter.

Also in the item description it states

"two 6-pin to 8-pin PCI-E connectors"

Most quality psu's have at least one 8 pin and 6 pin pci-e connector.

i suggest this power supply out of pure sexiness and the ability to put more amps through other rails, instead of using all 6 rails

and if the 700 watt isnt enough (if you want quad sli, or dual gtx's or anything like that)

here's the 800 watt

i'll be buying one of those myself sometime in the near future.. best looking psu i've ever seen

tell me thats not sexy, and i swear i'll kill you
