Just in time for Crysis:Warhead and FarCry 2. Sweet setup mate, and particularly like the PSU you chose (is it dual channel?). Won't hold you up, you've got some serious gaming to do.

by duel channel, are you talking about RAM or PSU. if it's PSU, don't you mean 'Dual Rail'.

Just to answer the single/dual-channel point mate. Many PSU's come with either option. For eg, a Single Channel 600 W PSU may be utilizing the entire channel for all optimization of power supply for Internet, Wireless Sound Communication, Fan cooling, MoBo and GPU power supply. So in reality it may only be giving you 550W of true power outage. In the Dual channel these can be either split or work in parallel with each other so in effect you are receiving 620+ Watts from a 600 W PSU. All depends on the brand, what its' target use is and cost. It has Pro's and Cons, but the XIGMATEK doesn't have this menyioned in its' specs so I assume its' a Single Channel unit. At 750 W I don't think I'd care which way the architecture went, seeing it supports both SLI and Cossfire.
As someone wise once said: "Game on"...or was that Flame-on!?!

Hay thanks Buddys! Well i like the Rosewill PSU that i have in my old system but the 750W one just had a few things i did not like, i got this one because it had 24 reviews 100% rating so i thought that was pretty good, i man it is Awesome! i love it! it has the Cables the connect right to it so theres not a ton of Wires in there ! Any Buy the Way to anyone who thinks the Antec 900 Case would be Noisy because of all the fans is wrong! this thing is quieter then my dell that has 1 fan! ahahah! thanks Guys!

And not really sure I'll upgrade my box soon. Everything runs smoothly even though it's not the top of the top any more.

8800 GTX, E6600, 2GB Patriot 800Mhz, Raptor 150G. Don't really have problems with any games.

I am waiting until somebody develops at least a 50% boost to what I got now. As individual HW pieces.
