On a system like that I would probably drop the FSP power supply and get something with a large single +12V instead of multiples. The FSP has 4 of them at 15a each. You could spend another $30 and get a Corsair 650TX with a 53a single 12V rail. The advantage of one large rail is you dont have to balance all of your stuff. Newer video cards will have a higher power draw. The FSP is by all means good, but the Corsair has alot less ripple, and therefore puts out cleaner power. Take a look into Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, Corsair, or Silverstone for a good PSU.

I think your PSU might be light if you keep adding video cards. Check out this site and make sure you have the power to run it all.

Thats a very nice unit too. Its identical to the PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750 Quad. I have the PCP&C 750 and its a fantastic PSU.

""The quad-core Q9000 line, which Intel says will ship by the end of March (compared to January availability of the E8000), consists of the 2.5GHz Q9300 (also with 6MB of L2 cache, at US$266 per thousand), the 2.66GHz Q9450 and the 2.83GHz Q9550, both of which double the L2 cache to 12MB.""
