Ok so I'm building my system,
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W
2 5870's cross fire
8gb mushkin blackline
MSI f90 FX gd70 Mobo
standard 300 cg seagate barracuda HD
Standard dcd rw recordable drive
ram running at 1600 if i'll be able to at 1.9 which people claim they've had success(kindof an overclock but not really)
I've been recommended a couple power supplies by a smart member on here, I want to make sure the one I choose is overkill so that I can overclock in the future, I'm planning to try and get the processor to 3.8-4 and I probably wont mess with the clocks on the graphics cards.
Also in the future I was thinking of an attempt to use my old bfg 8800gtx as a physics card, I have read some info that this is possible with older drivers, just the fact that I might be able to do it justifies the overkill on power plus I might xfire in the future.
Here's the one I am heavily considering(as they were recommended by the veteran hehe)

Thanks a bunch in advance
P.S. I know the ram is high voltage but the timing seems comparably low for the price, granted my mobo (which is the only one that suits my needs)
if there is a better ram out there to run 8 gigs at 1600(or better?) with a comparable timing then any and all suggestions are welcome
