OC Question Core i7

Check out the evga x58, if you are new to overclocking, it has a built in overclock that will take a 920 to 3.2ghz for you with 1 button. I love my evga x58.

500W won´t be enough?

Yea, 500w could be enough, depends on how many hard drives and how much you overclock though.

 

[Michael_R.]

my aim would be 3,8gHz

and not more than 3 HDDs, but for the moment there will be only 2 1TB Samsung F1 ones inside

You don't need a real powerful one. Something like this would do:
Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W Continuous @ 40°C EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies

I have that one, I definitely recommend it. Awesome PSU.

EDIT:

It would be, but you'll probably run out of connectors. The lower the wattage, the less connectors come with it for some reason.

Check out the Corsair HX520, plenty of power.

What happens if he runs out of connectors? Is there some way to still hook up additional components should he desire to in the future, or would his only option be to upgrade his PSU?

You could get like Y-splitters, or mod it and add more connectors.

Or get those little things that like clip onto the wire to add connectors...dunno what they're called.
