TX 750 probably he better in comparison to the GS 800.

If the Asus P8P67 Pro (rev 3.1) is out why not go with the updated version?

I would suggest you go with a power supply by one of the following companies:

Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, PC Power & Cooling.

Those are the main brands that are easy to recognize via e-tailer.

Also, check out the most recent power supply article.



I've been building computers for 10 years...and i've never really lost with a power supply...no matter where it was from...but my friends would tell you otherwise...

One thing i did notice, however, after i recently upgraded my i7 right to a EA750....my overclocks increased by 50-100%, and any crashes i might have had were decreased by the same number. Clean power is important!!! And this is why i'd go with a PSU by one of those brands, and its also why i'd go with the motherboard that's highest on the totem pole for the p8p67 series. Most high end motherboards differ from the mainstream ones in component quality and power delivery.

 

[jamesyboy]

But aside from that...this is virtually the same build i would choose. I'd probably choose a different motherboard (specifically the sabertooth p67-- it's widely considered the most rock solid).

I'd also get an aftermarket cooler--H50, h70, h80, h100....any one of them.
