Closing in on my final build and it should look something like this:
2500k
2x HIS Radeon 6950 (either unlocked or just overlocked, I'll know when I set it up!)
8gb RAM
128gb SSD
1TB storage drive
Sabertooth P67 (or) Gigabyte P67A-UD7 (or) Asus Maximus IV Extreme (I can't for the life of me decide, keep reading mixed opinions about x8/x8 PCI versus the x16/x16 NF200...I do plan on going Eyefinity multi-monitor)
I read similar setups and the consensus was 850 was plenty. I found this Corsair for $190 but also this non-Gold version for just $120 (AR). Either of these good? Is the Gold worth the extra money? Should I be looking at a different brand?
Also, I'll be using this in Korea. I don't think that'll be an issue, I'm assuming most power supplies are 100-240. Last time I was there I was able to use my laptop charger with just a $.05 converter (from the line prongs to circle prongs).
