So, what would you choose?

If you ever post windows 7 32bit again in a comp components poll I will whine you...

[PeterPanPan]

Very interesting replies/votes chaps. In summary:

1. Almost no one voted for Windows 7 32 bit.
2. Almost 75% voted for Intel over AMD.
3. Over 50% voted for Intel with Nvidia, the single most popular answer.

Thanks

Should do the trick

1000w is such an overkill considering efficiency.
Enjoy the electricity bill.

If he's planning to play overclocked (250W+), he'll be in the efficiency zone (20% of PSU). When idling in desktop (~140W), it'd be more efficient to have a 700W PSU though.

Watching my wifes face when i tell her I blew a months salary on a computer game.....Priceless!

Overkill? Maybe for now, this will have to last me a few years. I may ditch one of the gpu's if the third is not going to give me a good jump over regular sli.

...Now that's just being greedy!

Seems you'll be future-proofed for a few years with that set-up.

[BigC208]

It better be futere-proof. Asking for anything computer related and I'll be in the doghouse or looking for a new wife. She knew it was coming though. Built my last system in December of 2006 for SoW. When it had not come out by 2009 she asked me if I was allready saving up for the next system for SoW. I also use the multi monitor system for market analysis, options and stock trading. As a profesional pilot and flight instructor I can deduct all my flightsim gear for tax purposes so I have a bunch of good reasons/excuses to buy a kick@ss system every 4 years.
