SLI or CF is good for Vid editing, Heavy apps and large res. Like 1600p.

Oh OK, good choice with the Phantom. If you can reuse your old HD definitely do so - but certainly consider upgrading the SSD to a 128GB Crucial M4 then: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148442

I really don't like to spend $100+ on peripherals but if you want maybe try these:

If you are fine with a non-modular PSU then this is even better than the TX750 V2, especially in the quietness stakes:
Rosewill Capstone 750W 80Plus Gold $110
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182073
The fan used in the TX750 V2 and TX750 M is a Yate Loon D14BH-12, which has a maximum fan speed of 2800RPM, altho it is probably only going to get up to 1800RPM on maximum load.
However the fan in the Capstone 750W is a Globe Fan RL4Z B1402512M, 0.30A which has a maximum speed of 1200RPM. However on maximum load it is only likely to reach 1000RPM.

IIRC the Corsair H80 and H100 have fans which have very high maximum speeds. I don't know what they are like when you put quiet fans on them either.
The Noctua NH-U9B has a fan speed range of 1000-1600RPM.

I personally like the G500, but that's a great mouse you chose for him!

I like that mouse but my big hands would hit that number pad every single time. :lol:
