Hey everyone! I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on a 7970 on Newegg and I understand a 650W PSU should be good enough to power it. But, I'm not sure if it'll be enough given how my rig is currently setup. Here's the specs: Asus P7P55D E-Pro Mobo Core i7 860 OC'd to 3.6 Ghz (running 24/7)...

I've been overclocking my core i7 860. I heard from a buddy (that usually has his tech info straight) that I should update my mobo to the latest bios which is 18 months newer than the bios that's currently on it. Is this a good idea? It kind of sounds like a pain in the butt. Also, would it...

^+1 I recently was faced with the same decision. I went with the 860, as dual GPUs weren't going to be in my future. I know a lot of enthusiasts here prefer going x58, but unless you're absolutely in need of triple channel memory or multi-GPU configurations then you'll be just fine with the...

That's precisely the reason I'm here - and I do plan on utilizing the feedback I get here so I can get the most bang for my buck.

@niklas_13 Thanks for the feedback. I understand some people may be having a problem with the NewEgg link, so here's the list as a picture: http://i.imgur.com/Clhcl.jpg I look forward to the feedback! :)
