everything looks good but if you want the best processor, you should take a look at the fx60

If you are going to spend that kind of money for a power supply - and think you will ever add a 2nd video card for SLI - get a SLI-certified power supply now. That one isn't.

Yea man, they came out with an FX-60. Its pretty expensive though. Id love to meet someone with it to tell me how it is.

That is a beast! ^^

The FX-60 has lower frame rates than the FX-57 . But the multitasking is quite better.

i cant find any 512mb models of that card. it seems that the tide is turning against nvidia. its not producing any promised 512mb 7800GTX's or the new 7900GTX. meanwhile ATI is beating them in benchmarks.
