carry over bits, 6950 flashed, x fi extrememusic, 9600gt for physx (which slot to put it in ? )

5 hd's

and 2 dvd drives, and a 650/700watt akasa psu

thats a good build, just stick the PhysX card in any of the 16X slots.

yeah i just checked images, and it only has two pci-e 16 full slots

so thats solved

just be wary of tall ram such as the vengance interfering with large heatsinks.

Ignore

ill be using a waterblock, so not so much of a issue, downside of the larger heatsinks for me is cabling for dvd drives can be close :x

larger heatsink means its less likely to cook itself in a low airflow environment
