just a noob

Not a bad psu, but highly necessary for anything less than a dual xeon server board with tri sli, and i dont even think there is a dual xeon board that does SLI out there yet. Judging just by your sig of what your planning, you could run a 750W silencer to be true about it.

One thing you may wanna take a look a the ocz Z series 1kw,the 850W has an 850W +12v rail, and the 1kw has a 1kw rail. They are 80PLUS Gold, so 90%+ efficiency at any load level(which would save you/your parents some money, the higher the wattage draw the more you will save over just an 80% unit), no longer than a standard atx switching psu, and there are modular editions.

yeah you told me awhile back. thanks. i'm not sure when i'll be able to finish pimpin this rig. a lot other stuff goin on lately. appreciate all the info tho buddy.

done

Hehe, always the limiting factor is the cash isnt it? Thats the same reason i havent upgraded since over a year ago..

Lol, that would be a nice rig to have. Surprised you dont want like sli'd 295's

125 isn't bad. i dunno, for some reason i've never been a big fan of the gx2. i've always hated that card. odd.

awesome. thanks dude.

I think $200 is a very reasonable price for that.

lol, your OC is about the same as mine but abour 15 degrees cooler, that kicks ass

Sounds good, im running 1.35ish for 3.95 on my quad, so 1.28 sounds like a pretty decent chip for 3.7.
