the psu will be up in the 750/850w range

the gaming corsair psu's are not recommended

Same as dai on the PSU.
WD Black Series Hdd's offer a 5 yr. warranty.

thx for hdd advice, 5 year warranty ... :grin:

later on id like to add another HD6950, i suppose a 750 would do then?!?

Don't bother with crossfire. By the tim you get another 6950 there will be a single gpu tha faster then both of them making two 6950's very impractical. Infact , even right now crossfire with the best gpu's ati has is still very impractical.

 

[Tyree]

As above^.

 

[dai]

also dual cards will bump up the psu to 850 or better
