Hi, I'm gonna be getting an i7 soon. And on the box it says it comes with a fan and heatsink.

I am going to be doing alot of multitasking and using big programs like photoshop, flash, sonar, 3dmax, & dream weaver.

Will the factroy heatsink be good enough for me?

Here is the setup I'm getting.

yup.

What video card/ How many HDD are you going to run? you won't need 1000W PSU in most cases.
 
I am getting 4 video cards all Nvdia GeForce 8600 GTS, to run my 8 screens

and a 500GB and 1 TB hard drive

i wanted to get a 1000w just for future upgrades, why is 1000w too much? cuz i know u gotta hook up each 8600 gts to the power supply

That dosen't matter it has 4 PCIe slots. He won't be using SLI as he plans to have two monitors hooked up to each card. If you have 3 cards in SLI you can only use 2 monitors for more then they you have to disable SLI.
 
but i dont think my 8600 gts supports 3way sli, only dual, ill have to check up on that.

Id like to try sli someday when i have more money. But i only play games maybe 1hr a month.

What does quadrophonic gaming mean. I found this on a site.
