If you are going for one of the high end cards, be aware they suck down 75+ watts - more than the cpu will. A specifically designed power supply for these cards is called for, otherwise you;ll be back here asking about random compile failures, graphics lockups, corrupt file systems, etc. To support the gfx card and the system, you'll need a power supply that has a decent continous power rating, such as a PC Power&Cooling Silencer 470ATX. If you want an SLI config, then the PC Power&Cooling Turbo-Cool 510 Express/SLI is called for. > PS: Nvidia would be my choice for video, anyone have suggestions? Unless you have a specific need for high end, a 6600 GT works well with a smaller power draw - 350 W power supply.
