I'm not sure if the PSU is a bit overkill. I really don't know if I intend to SLI in the future. Would this even cover SLI? Maybe 750W is a minimum?

Struggling to decide between a Samsung 840 PRO or the Vertex 4 256GB.

Not sure if there's anything else. I dropped the 3D monitor and will try the on board sound. Could always get an Asus Xonar at a later date.

Also waiting for a friend to get back to me as he has the Logitech Z906 5.1 kit. A few people on here have questioned why I'd pay so much for speakers :D

Thanks
 
psu will do for now, can always swap at a latter date if you do add more cards etc, i'd never go for min psu and work it at max always better to have some spare as long as its branded, runs silent and cool im happy with most, and ive had a few.

once built can you post how good lightscribe works as im after a new one thanks.

builds great enjoy it and give us your views once built
 
Thought about a 7950 + smaller PSU?
