I have a corsair 550w powersupply... it\'s super quiet.  I also am a fan of the G.skill memory as well... looks like good components to me.  I haven\'t been keeping up at all with the i7 processors and ddr3 memory though.

Also got a Thermaltake HSF cooler for the CPU but it\'s still on its way.  Skimped on the GPU because I\'m not gaming much right now but when the GTX 260\'s hit $130 or so I may bite.

Total came to $914.44 w/Newegg combo deals.  Not bad for a modern system!

Nice setup. Those new GPUs kinda crept up on me. Haven\'t been following the GPU trend lately.
