What's that setup likely going to cost you, if I may ask? Just curious because I'm also looking into upgrading in line with the specs you have there. *edit* sorry, didn't read the whole post. Mah' bad!

If you are going for a i7, I would really go for a bigger power supply.

I recommend with that large setup that you use a 1KW PSU. (1000 WATT). This is a necessity else you will have hardware damage. Try calling Matrix Warehouse ( http://www.matrixonlineshop.co.za/ ) they usually help me order parts and have good prices too. Regards!

Dude... 4ghz can almost be done on any I7 board on air. get a TRUE 120. Alot of the guys get 4ghz on those. Alot depends on your chip.

They order their parts from Rectron. A good branded 700W will be fine for him if he wants to SLI cards although he could get away with less.

Ya really --&gt; 1000W PSU is overkilling it. You don't need a 1000W PSU for that setup. And also stay clear from Matrix. Haven't heard any good feedback from people who dealt with them.
