Go Ultra. The 850W Ultra X3 is fully modular, A full box of every kinda cable you would want to use comes with it and very quiet.

Just got the corsair tx750 installed and running great.It's a heavy brute with lots of extra cables i'll probably never use but im future proof now and it makes so little noise i had to check to see if the fan was really spinning. :D

OK nearly done.Upgraded my case from a old 1st generation TT Soprano to a Coolermaster CM 690 II because the two cpu coolers im trying to decide on would not fit the soprano but now im free and clear(H50 or V8?)which would be easier to install?The 690 cutout for the mb does not completely clear the cpu rear mounting bracket so im still going to have to remove the mb to install the brackets but thats no problem.BTW these 690's are a damn nice looking case with excellent cable management BUT they should all come with the clear side panel instead of the optional order.It's hard trying to peek in the small side fan holes to look at all the goodies LOL.

Between the H50 and V8, I would say V8. Its cheaper and does just a good (if not better) job of cooling.

Post up some build shots!

Once you get the finishing touches on the rig, I hope to see a few posts in an overclocking thread. I am curious to what that board and your cpu would do.

as for adding photos to the forum, my digi-cam has a "vga" setting , perfect for adding the right sized photos to forums.

Everything now installed and running great,just need the final piece of the puzzle which is the cm 690 optional see through side cover(well maybe a 80gb ssd when prices come down more)

Their not to expensive, and its worth the juice but I grabbed a Silverstone 750W and it runs beautifully, lovely modular with tons of connections, tie wraps! and its fairly quiet.

Why get one when you can get two for twice the price! (or four!)
