[Hefemeister]

500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)

More than enough. The 850watt Seasonic that Ste gave you would be an excellent choice.

Power supply: Newegg.com - SeaSonic S12D 850 Silver 850W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies

Any improvements or compatibility issues you guess can see or recommend would be greatly appreciated. My budget for my system was 2600 USD and this system so far is running 1993.9-2133.89 depending on the GPU or other modification i make.

Loose the velociraptor. You have a ssd for os and programs. Get this drive for your data if you want fast:
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drives -Bare Drive
or to save a bit of energy,
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS 1TB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

yea was looking at that earlier, sounds good that brings this system down another Benjamin 1892.89-2033.88

How about the gpu, you think getting the 4850x2 is worth it? or just get a dual card setup which will probably be more stable and run much cooler

other cards

i guess my last post didnt go through but as far as shipping via neweggs free service i was wondering about the quality of shipping the entire order together vs shipping smaller orders. I read somewhere there is a higher risk of collateral damage when you order everything at once...

It did go through, but your not supposed to double post so I merged them.

Please do not multi post, wait for someone else to reply before posting again.
