Could someone recommend a PSU, the size is really what i am concerned about. I've seen the list on here but i'm not sure what would be needed for i7 and x58 build.
Currently the build includes the Gigabyte UD5, trying to shave a few bucks off the price so i was also looking at the UD4. How worse off is the performance of the UD4 versus the UD5 in OCing and overall?
Also, was wondering about the ram, currently getting the DDR3 1333 but if i were to overclock would it be better off getting higher speed ram from the start as opposed to overclocking the 1333?
