http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813131232

wow thats a nice graphics card you got but if you havent aready bought it it may be a good idea and cheaper to get 2 8800gts's instead but that board looks pretty nice i dont see anything wrong with it

i have another thread going atm, concerning my power supply, i was advised to stay away from the less known choice (ultra lsp) and go with a power cooler, which in my case a 10-20 dollar diff isnt a big deal in the big picture (if something happens i would have no problem getting some customer service)

650 watts would be enough for what i have?

Enermax makes really good quality PSU, I would recommend considering that brand as well.
