SYSTEM BUILD ADVISE

[kosmic]

Hi there can any one advise me on this sytem please
i need to fit around 6-8 1TB WD Hard Drives and a 9600GT Nvidia GFX card (or maybe a slightly faster one in the future)

my questions are
1: do i need the 750W PSU or would the Corsair TX 650W do the trick ?
2: do i need the Antec 902 or would a cheaper case keep the temps down just as well if so which one?
3: do i need any other parts to complete the build that i have missed ?
4: can you advise any other more powerful parts ? (i would like the usb3 and sata 3 in this build)

*OVERCLOCKED* Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz @ 4.20GHz Max / Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 Intel X58 DDR3 Motherboard / Patriot Viper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel DDR3 Bundle £622.12 1 £622.12

Corsair TX 750W ATX SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-750TXUK) £79.14 1 £79.14

Antec 902 Nine Hundred Two Ultimate Gaming Case - Black £76.59 1 £76.59

for example how would this system compare if i built it myself , how much slower would it be with the cheaper mobo ?

That's a lot of porn.

You can save a lot of money by buying a i7 920, patriot viper ram and the asus motherboard that are all on special this week only offer.

is that the same ram that i listed above ?
can you help answer these questions please ?
