| I would get a 1000W psu mate, you need all the power you can get these days and you would want to make sure your computer is some what future proof, also I wouldnt bother with the 8800GT, try the GTX or the Ultra there a little more money but you will notice the different before you even turn the computer on (yes there that good) also how much ram are you looking to gettting, 2GB min, and i think the 780i can hold 8GB (im getting the same card) Hope this helps

| Everything looks pretty compadible. I give you two thumbs up, but... I would recommend a 1000W PSU as well, that way you don't have to worry about not getting enough juice to those 8800 GTs. The 780i is a really good board, too bad they just released the 790i Do you know what OS you're going with yet? I would recommend Vista HP/Ultimate 64-bit(if you can afford it). I have the HP 32-bit and didn't realize it until after I had it installed. But anyway, it runs great on my setup; no errors, no BSD, nothing. I really like it, but the choice is definitely yours on whether to get it or not. If you do end up getting either one with 64-bit, you should get at least 4 gigs of ram to get it to run smooth. I would also have to agree with megatron21 on the 8800 GTX/Ultra. If you get either of them, you have the capability of using that 3-way bridge someday, which is what I'm planning on doing someday(when I get the cash If either the GTX or the Ultra is out of your price range, just stick with the GTs. I have a friend that just has one and it runs Crysis on high with no problem, so really you're doing a good job with two GTs. One more thing, DON'T buy any Lite-On DVD drives. I got one off of TigerDirect.com thinking I was going to be able to run Crysis right off the bat... guess again. It acted like there was a piece of tin foil in the drive, and didn't read the disc at all. My friend an I did a little research and found that it just so happened that that particular drive can't read Crysis disks. It really isn't too big of a deal if you're using it for anything else, but if you're a heavy duty gamer like me, it really sucks. I ended up having to go buy another drive just so I could run Crysis. But yeah. Anyway, that's my two cents. Hope you have fun on your build!
