Friend of mine just got [url=http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=602617&Sku=B69-0371]this[/url]. Just want to make sure he's not bottlenecked. Also he's not replacing the power supply for a few months. [nevermind, he is] Price ceiling is like $180-200.
Diablotek is complete shit; he better replace that PSU alot sooner. Better yet, he should just toss it and get another one.
He says he has a 430 watt Thermaltake from his old computer so it should be fine for now.
this card seems nice : [url]http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=365478&csid=_23[/url] only takes a 500* watt, but to be safe he should get a 700 watt because of that 6 core maybe this? : [url]http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3276567&CatId=2533[/url] seems cheap and effective, I don't know much about the brand though.

OP - What's the model of the Thermaltake? If it's the Purepower 430w NP, you don't want to use that either.

the ram that comes with the mobo is going to be overclocked right out of the box keep that in mind OP
