Puddle Jumper Mod Emeritus Messages 4,292 Aug 11, 2008 #14 I would get a HD 4870 since the Rampage Formula supports crossfire. Newegg.com - POWERCOLOR AX4870 512MD5-H Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards A Corsair 750tx would be more than enough power for your system even if you add a second 4870 in the future. Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CE, CB, TUV, FCC, CCC - Power Supplies This cooler is cheaper and better. Newegg.com - XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks + the best thermal paste Newegg.com - Tuniq TX-2 Cooling Thermal Compound - Thermal Compound / Grease Also, unless you really need the extra space I recommend getting this faster hard drive. Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives

Newegg.com - RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WB530P Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 530W Modular LED Power Supply - Computer Cases And of course.. Would it still be enough power?

veg1992 Golden Master Messages 19,993 Aug 11, 2008 #16 Raidmax PSU's are on our avoid list, didn't you read the PSU Guide in the stickies??
OP OP A Andrewsmc Solid State Member Messages 13 Aug 11, 2008 #17 And also look at the combo deal.. It comes with the HD Puddle Suggested. Save me some $$
Puddle Jumper Mod Emeritus Messages 4,292 Aug 11, 2008 #18 Radmax is on the list of brands to avoid in the Updated Power supply guide. Also It's generally not recommended to use psu's that come with a case (with the Antec Earthwatts being the exception).
