Thanks for the replies...

Just a couple of questions..

Is a 64bit os better than a 32bit?

Also does the be quiet PSU have 2 PCIE power cables to power the graphics card?

64bit os will be able to utilise all your ram, 32bit os is limited to 3.25-3.5 gig of ram. Going for a 32bit os nowadays is a bit pointless mate :)

And yes it should, its SLI/Crossfire ready :)
 
Yes, but it's more expensive. I think you can still get the Windows 7 release candidate, but what i'd do is run Linux for the time being, then probably dual boot 7 when you get it.
