No need to go that high on PSU unless planning crossfire. The ram is high speed but 1600MHz ram would be plenty.

lots of case fans as well - would you mind filling out the standard info so that we can get a better I idea of what you are after.

Yea sorry I will be using this for gaming and i will be adding another 6950 in about two months running crossfire. I will be overclocking my processor and unlocking both of my gpus. I will also add some ssds in the future. Budget is about 1500 including a monitor the resolution will be 1920X1080. The purchase will be in the next month or so. I will be using newegg.

I still suggest saving on the ram since overclock is with the multiplier on the I5 2500K and therefore not ram limited.

Alright will do any other suggestions?
