Hello guys, after reading this awesome review, I decided to order my next computer on the new AM2 socket.

Here's a link to my computer build: http://www.SharpCoding.com/projects/MyPC/
All the components are from http://www.PCCanada.com (All prices are CAD)

Questions:
-> Would the 450W OCZ ModStream PSU be enough for 2x BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC running in SLI, with 2x 250 GB harddrives and 2 optical drives? And if not, would the 520W version be enough? (I'd guess so).

(I'll buy a second BFG GeForce 7600 GT when the prices drop down, and my wallet gains some weight~)

-> Is the CPU / RAM combo optimal? If not, which memory would you suggest me to get, from this list; http://www.pccanada.com/inventory.asp?cat=MEMORY#DDR2%20RAM

Please note that I want my computer to be optimised for gaming, which is why I'm not going A64 X2, since I'd need a 4600+ to have a better performance.

Also, note that my budget is pretty much that, so don't suggest I get those 500$ memory sticks =)

-> Is the rest good? =)

Thanks a lot for your time! I will order this computer either tomorrow or the day after, based on your replies.

1) if you going to be running 2 7600GT's with everthing else you listed I think you definitely need a larger PSU. 450W seems a little small for that setup, you will probably definitely want to with 500W-600W.

2)Everthing else looks pretty good, enjoy the build.
