Intel ® Core 2 Duo E8400
NEC AD-7191A LightScribe™ Črna
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
Seagate ST3500320AS 500GB 7200RPM 32MB Serial ATAII
NZXT. Alpha Črna
ASUS P5N-D
2x Gigabyte GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB GDDR 3 PCI-Express™ 16x

Corsair TWIN2X2048 -6400C4 KIT 2048MB 800 MHz DDR II

The only thing that bothers me on this rig is the power supply, however my budget is all in there, cannot afford a better one, otherwise I'd get the 720W enermax infiniti

What do you pro's think? Thanks in advance

Had a look at the reviews, the artctic cooling freezer 7 pro is great for it's price.

What's wrong with your power supply?

The system sounds fine to me and should be very nice all said and done.

I have 2 3870x2 cards and a quadcore all heavily overclocked on an ABS tagan 800 watt and I'm drawing a little over 600 watts total at full load. Fans and all.

You will come in a lot less than that I would think.

I don't really see a problem.

if you want a far better heatsink, go with the xigmatek.

One of the best coolers on the market for the best price.
That e8400 will be very happy under that.

I know that that PSU has enough W, the only thing is that it hasn't got that many Amps on the rails, only 56, need 45 for running GTX SLi, should work however.

And the cooler is fine, don't have that one you've posted the link to available, at the company I'm buying. Won't OC it that much so or so, haven't OC'd anything yet, so I'm pretty much a newbie in that area.

All-in-All I think that will do just fine, the whole system. Yeah sure I could get a better one, but I don't want to pay more money. I could get a 780i Mobo, but that P5N-D is good too from what I've heard, and read what people have said. No reviews though :S
