Fellas,
I have settled on the following - any absent components are otherwise accounted for (gfx, hdd, OS etc), with the exception of a PSU on which I would appreciate some advice:
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4 (I want the 4 for the firewire)
Zalman CNPS10X
Intel Core i7 860 (maybe the i5 750 if I'm feeling tight)
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
I am planning on using w7 primarily doing lightroom, maybe hackintoshing for aperture, and of course a little FM2010.
First of all, can we agree that the above seem like reasonable matches for each other?
Second, can I drop in another 4gig kit like the above with no consequences at a later date?
Third and finally, if I am running four(!) 7200rpm HDDs, a radeon 4870, and a minimal stock voltage overclock, what kind of PSU should I be looking at?
Thank you all for your attentions
