I have two questions. The first is this:
With current hardware, is it worth 790i w/ DDR3 RAM? Is there enough performance increase to be had over 780i w/ DDR2 RAM to justify the price difference?
Second, anyone with a similar rig that can give me some guidance regarding how much power I'll need?
EVGA 790i mobo
Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16 GHz (o/c'd to 4.1)
ACF 7 pro cpu cooler
4x 80 mm case fans
4x 1GB mushkin DDR3 1333 RAM
2x GeForce 9800 GTXs in SLI
2 hard disks
2 optical drives
Thanks! I would hate to order the parts only to find that I didn't have enough power or connectors.
