I'm building a $2,000 gaming build and can't find anyone who has built a system like mine. So I want to be sure I'm getting enough power. I am planning on getting this 750W PSU for my build but will it work?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139006

My build in a nut shell...

MOBO: ASUS Rampage
CPU: E8600 (plan on overclocking on air, XIGMATEK uses 1 fan)
HDD: 2 WD 640GB (non RAID)
Memory: 4GB OCZ DDR2 1066
Video: Diamond overclocked 4870 x2
CD drive: 2 of them, 1 Blu-Ray burner and one regular dvd for every day use
Case: NZXT Tempest (has 6 case fans controlled by a 6 channel fan controller)
Monitor: This will only be used on my 52" Samsung HDTV

So will that Corsair 750W be enough? Thanks in advance!

Yes, the Corsair 750w PSU should be fine.

Yeah, that's a good PSU. Have fun with your build.

Oops, just noticed you chose a Diamond video card. Keep it at your peril. I'd personally choose ANY other manufacturer, but I hear good things around here about Visiontek for its warranty.

I'd select DDR2-800 RAM that will operate at its advertised timings on the JEDEC default 1.8V. I've used 2GB and 4GB kits from Mushkin and A-Data; I think G.Skill has some too.
