I have a windows 7 disc and i know some might say the psu is underpowered for crossfire. But at this time i dont see myself crossfiring so no need for a hi price psu but ofcourse i want the option. My Q6600 pc has lasted me for 4 years so im hoping this build will to and after a year or TWO who knows what ill do but for NOW no crossfire
 
If that is your primary focus I'd cut some fat and upgrade the GPU.

Essentially the same specs, you just aren't paying $30 for "thermal armor". Can also ditch the $5 motherboard fan.

Just doing that you can upgrade to a Gigabyte GTX 560Ti.

im not looking to blow any benchmarks away and i know the 560 wont do that either but im running a 4670 now so most any card will blow my current one out of the water. did some more research on the thermal armor and its realy just for keeping hi end video cards from blowING hot air on the board lol. but it looks soooo cool and we all know better a computer looks faster it is (Sarcasm!) =p my friend has a spare dvd drive so i think ill cut that and put it towards a better psu i was thinking this
