Hey doing a fat upgrade just need some advice.

I'm gonna go with i7 920 and p6t deluxe oc palm ed. Due to budget (650 for CPU, PSU, RAM, mobo and h50 cooler). I'm looking to slap it onto 4 ghz for games and stuff and needed help on ram choice and PSU.

I am looking to eventually add 2 5870's in crossfire so I need to know how big yo make the psu. I also don't understand all the ddr3 ram timings and stuff so what would fit best within the budget? Sorry for bad typing, psu died took a few friends with it so I have to use the iPhone to type.

AMD reccomends atleast 600W for the PSU. You will also need 4 x 6-pin connectors on the PSU, just something to look out for .

Do you mean asus instead of amd?
Or are you referring to gfx?

Sorry it's been a looooong day.

Okay the antec truepower mentioned has 2 6 pin and 2 8 pin connectors...can I still stick 2 5870's on it in xfire? Also further reading on the motherboard reveals it has no CMOS reset button - is there still a jumper of sorts on the board?

Okay thanks - last few questions.

Does the h50 manual tell you how to set up a push/pull config?

Can the p6t deluxe oc palm edition sustain 4 ghz on an i7 920 constantly?

Will I need anti static equipment to pull this off safely being my first time n all...
