Hey all name's Robo I am a welder and enjoy PC gaming. I have a bad (or good) habit of purchasing the top rated PC components from previous years at deep discounts as this usually gives me a really good gaming rig on the cheap. I know the newer stuff is better but I usually enjoy good solid frame rates and have a good time. My current system I have put together is as follows.
Intel Q9550 CPU
XFX Nvidia 790i SLI MB
GSKILL Ripsaw Memory 4gb sticks 1600mhz (board max is 8 gb's)
2 Nvidia GTX 470 GPU's for SLI
H50 Water Cooler
What PSU would be sufficient for this rig and what hard drives would you recommend for raid?
From my research it seems 3.4 - 3.6 ghz is the sweet spot to OC the 9550, feel free to comment on this as well.
