i was thinking of buying
I7 930
ASRockX58 Extreme3 asone
G.SKILL DDR3 4G PC3-12800 CL9 RIPJAWS RL
GTX460 OC D5 1GB(810MHz / GDDR5(DDR5) / 4000MHz / 1GB / 256-bit / PCI-Express 2.0 x16)
WD1TB Caviar Black WD1002FAEX (SATA 6Gbps/7200/64M)

now a few question i was thinking about SLI about next year which means i need a better power ( i was guessing about 850W due to overclocking to 4.3 and 2 gforce will use alot of power also)...... then again next year there might be better nicer cards... will my SLI still be as good as other cards that will come out next year?? or should it be better to buy a 500W power now and just change my card next year.
 
First of all nice build you will be very happy with that. Secondly with the radeon HD 6000 series coming out soon I don't know what nvidia's new cards will be one card should over power the dual cards. This is why i am hesitant to look at crossfirering my 5870 as in time the cards are just getting a whole lot better.
 
The 5870 sure is one hell of a card if you have the money go for a 5970 but they are around $1000 last time I checked. Nothing has come close to challenging the 5870 yet and therefore I am extremely happy with it :)
 
if i deside to do sli then you think i should buy 850W? or is the to much? coz the 4.3 overclocking takes about 400W by itself
 
If that is the case you could go the corsair 850 w as this wouldn't hurt and you would have more room to upgrade in the future.
