"Bloodrage" is a neat name, but you'd do better with an Asus P6T Deluxe V2.

With what you save, get a GTX285.

lol least build it in a full tower

 

[bluebrain1]

you might want to look at the corsair 750 watt psu.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006&Tpk=corsair%20psu%20750
its less, single 60 amp 12 v rail. awesome psu. quiet fan. lots of connectors & stuff.

I have the BloodRage and I am in love with it! Having absolutely no problem and can hit 4GHz on my particular core i7 920 without any hiccups..The only problem I see is no tripple SLI (atleast not with cards that have dual slot coolers without modding)..

and I second xnknown..build it in a full tower for sure..
