What PSU make is it?

I hope that is a san diego FX55

I would really recomend getting the DFI sli-d for the motherboard. You will need a 24pin PSU for this. OCZ modstream are 24pin.

I personally prefer OCZ platinum rev. 2 - overclocks extremly well

It is all compatible though.

*drools* fx55. constructive comments get your attention....the fx55 gets mine. u r one lucky bstard i wish i could afford a rig with an fx55 and a 7800gtx. if youre already forkin out that much for the rig you should get a wd raptor hdd.

2 suggestions. Get a 6800GT and 4000+ instead. Save yourself a few hundred dollars and buy a ton of games with the money instead. Or use those few hundred dollars to get a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and wirelss speakers. Ya, your being kind of redundant with the sound/wireless adaptor, but if you insist on higher quality sound, then go for it.

where are u getting the comp from?

Anyway, i would change the mobo to a DFI lanparty nForce4 Ultra-D, or at least an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4 mobo

 

[Hacp]

Ultra-D won't do since he wants sli I think. So, you would reccomend the SLI versions of those mobos.

 

[Trifid]

Or you could do a pencil mod, and a few nights on ebay for the ultra-d to be turned into a SLI-D

If you want the best the FX57 is out now

Or you could save yourself some money and one of the AMD san diego's.

Well we can tell it's not a custom made PC

The motherboard is a bit iffy, and just pray they give you a san diego FX-55 or else it's some 2 year old peice of tecnolagy that you can cook food on.

And hope the "500" watt power supply is good as well

Why does the case have a 420 supply and you're buying a 500 also? Doesn't make sense to me, but I'm sure there's a reason that I dunno.

You have too much money. Thats like a $2000 machine.

Oh, and I agree, get a 4000+ or something, it'll save you a bunch of money, and I don't think you need a FX-55 for anything really. I mean, you'll run any game on all high w/ a 7800 PCI-E and 4000+ and it'll save you money.
