2x WD 16MB 250GB SATA
1x SCA SCSI
1x 8800GTX
3x 120mm Fans
2x Cold Cathodes (12")
2GB DDR2 1066 RAM

Will my OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU cover that?
I am planning on going at LEAST 6700 and probably Quad Core when prices come down. I am also going to get another 8800GTX and 2 more GB of RAM eventually. Will my PSU be enough to power all this?

Stock quad core and a couple 8800GTXs will be fine. Start OCing that quady and you will be pushing the PSU hard.

When you 'upgrade' to a 6700 you can sell me your E6400 :)

I have one 36GB SCA SCSI with a host adapter and two Western Digital Caviar 16MB 250GB. What is the IDEAL setup for performance on these 3 drives? I was thinking a stripe but that would mean the array is only as fast and big as the slowest/smallest drive. Is there a way I can maybe RAID the SATAs and boot from the SCSI? I want pure, no punches pulled, screaming perdformance. (With what I have)

While the OCZ has a total of about 56A on the +12v rails and has enough power for dual 8800 GTXs it dosn't have the number of PCI-e connectors needed for the cards. Not to mention the OCZs don't do so well once you really start pushing them. If the final goal is for duall 8800 GTXs then you may want to consider a more stable PSU. I recomend the PC Power & Cooling 750W Quad. It has more then enough power to support a quad core with OC and dual 8800 GTXs.

Damn-it... I want that "PC Power & Cooling 750W Quad" for a long time now... But it isn't for sale here in Holland... I also have a simular Configuration... And I will upgrade my pc to 2x 8800GTX and 4GB ram... And I was going to buy the OCZ GameXtreme 700Watt.... but now I hear this.... I definately want that 750W Quad PSU.... damn... Why isn't it for sale here... :(
