Well, the wait for the bulldozer is killing me, so i'm gonna figure out all my parts. I'm not sure how powerful a PSU I need. Here's my current (future) set up:

GPU:

Sound:

CPU cooler:

For the CPU, I may go up to the 8-core bulldozer, depending on benchmarks and price. Possible overclocking.

Using this computer for everything. Games, word processing, internet, photoshop, video editing.

I want a reliable PSU (Obviously) with enough power and long enough cables to properly wire my case for airflow. Any help would be appreciated.
 
looks good..all i can say is that the sound card is a waste of money unless you go really high end and even then, you would need to hook it up to TOP dollar speakers to hear a tiny difference.
 
Haha, well, the point of my post was asking how powerful of a PSU I need. Guess I didn't make it that clear.

And I thought that too, but after asking in the sound card forum:

I might just not buy one and see how it sounds, and if need be, I'll buy a sound card.

And crap, my video card is sold out... hopefully they will have some when the bulldozer comes out.
