Well if money isnt the issue going for a 1000w PSU wouldnt hurt.

If you are looking for something thats a little more pocket friendly I would go with an 850w PSU.

You don't need the Z68 chipset, the P67 can give you all what you need for less money. I suggest you move on to ASUS, MSI or Gigbayte for GPU, more if you want overclock the GPUs. For PSU a modular 850W is a good option for the current build and future SLI, I suggest you Corsair AX series, Antec, Seasonic or XFX.

Why should I go for a P67 when the Z68 is out??

Ohh I see, you like spend money in the latest things that comes out. The z68 chipset won't give you any decent or bigger feature that pay the price difference over the P67 chipset, but if you still want buy the Z68 do it and keep the crap RAM and HDD that you selected.

If money is not really an object i would go for a SSD for the Operating system and a 1TB for primary drive (for games etc). Also as far as power supply go for Corsair HX Series either 850 or 1000 depending on if you want to go for 2 Graphics cards in the future.

As for the P67 over the z68, its your choice but have a read on the performace gains over the price in some of the reviews and see if you still want it. could save you a bit of cash and maybe get you an awsome set of speakers!

Thanks for the nice and encouraging responce.... And no I dont spend money on the latest things that comes out I'm still using a Q6600 and I really need to upgrade so... And I wanna get a Z68 for better OC, smart responce SSD caching, Why would I get P67 if I'm upgrading right now it's like saying I'll get a first gen iCore when sandy bridges are out...

To answer your original question. If price is no object for the power supply then i would get the Seasonic X' series.

Seasonic x650

Seasonic x750
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151087&Tpk=seasonic%20x750

But you could also go for the equally awesome Corsair AX and HX units...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139016&Tpk=AX750

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010&Tpk=hx750

(i'd prolly go with the seasonics since they're the same price)
