Hi,
I am looking at buying an ASUS P5E3 Premium mobo, a Q9450 CPU, 2gigs of high-speed DDR3 RAM and some sort of PSU that can run two OC'd 4870s.
However, I am SO unsure of what PSU to get and whether it'll be fully compatible with the mobo or not...
(I'm so unsure it hurts :lol.
So I was looking at an online store in my country (NZ) at some PSUs but couldn't decide on one.
That's where I need some MAJOR help.
Here is the range of power supplies in my store:

It would be awesome if someone could help me choose one that'll:
1. work with the mobo
2. run two oc'd 4870s in x-fire
3. be around NZ$300.
The site is NZ so $NZ for prices.
------
Also, about the CPU (Q9450) - I was wondering how good it would be for OC'ing?
Would it be the best choice for dual 4870s?
------
One last thing - should I start off with 1600DDR3 RAM or less?
------
Thanks.
