Hey Guys,

I would just like some consumer feedback on my most recent build.

CORE i7 920 @ 3.2
EVGA 3x SLI Classified Motherboard
EVGA GTX 295 CO-OP Edition
12GB OCZ Gold 1600MHZ RAM
150GB Velocity Raptor (OS)
1TB 7200 RPM HDD (Western Digital)
1.5TB 7200 RPM HDD (Western Digital)
Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler
Gigabyte 3D Auroa 570S Chassis
800 Watt Rosewell Modular Power Supply

Power supply might seem low, however I have never had any issues with the PC.

I am open to any points and also any thing that could potentially be upgraded.

Food for thought: Am thinking about wither waiting for the GT 300 or getting another GTX 295, larger PSU and trying that setup, am not sure about the stability of Quad SLI.

-Cheers!

I don't know if you need a larger PSU, but at least buy a GOOD one, the Rosewill PSUs might be good enough for a cheap PC, but if you are spending good money on the i7, the mobo, the video card and the rest of the hardware don't save on the PSU, unless you don't mind to potentially fry all your hardware.

I second that sentiment wholly. In fact, I wouldn't even use a Rosewill in a cheap computer. Corsair, Seasonic PC Power & Cooling are the brands to run with.

Quad SLI isn't worth it. No game benefits enough from it to validate the extra expense. Wait for the GT 300 series or grab the HD 5970. BUT...not before changing the PSU.
