Now I need some help: Was looking at PSUs but can't decide which I should get for the price. I Think 750w would be enough if I even at somepoint add another video card. Which brings me to my next point.. Which GPU I should be going for... Dropping the cash for the gtx580.. is that worth it over something like a 560ti? Will mainly be using this rig for sc2, bf3, diablo 3.
Thanks guys for helping out a noob builder.
