as i said in my intro thing...im not too computer savvy...so feel free to call me an idiot for choosing certain parts =p
 
I am sure you already did a power calc. Maybe want to consider an 800 - 1000 watt PS. Covering the items listed is great but what about all of the other stuff? USB extentions specifically.

Other than that....Have fun.:)

USB extentions?? For what?

Anyways, you don't need a 1000w power supply to run that system. And the OCZ ProXStream 1000w is one you want to avoid. Check out our power supply guide:

Like Hefe said, go for a Corsair 750.
 
On a side note if you ever planed to run dual gtx295's the 750 would just barely do it. In that case I would get a higher watt corsiar but the 750 is fine for your system as is.
 
Thanks for all the help guys ^^

hopefully the system should be up in the next week or so....just gotta get some time off work to go get the components ^^

i'll keep ya posted in anyone cares =p

oh...and if i did decide to get 2x gtx 295's....i could always switch PSU's right?

Thanks
