[Why_Me]

You want to use that 750w psu yet you answered NO on SLI/Crossfire on that questionnaire. So unless you plan on powering a jet engine while running a single card then that 750w psu makes zero sense. I put in the Window Professional for the fact Windows Home Premium is limited to seeing 16GB of RAM.
