Wow man, pretty much building my dream system. Down the road i sure hope you plan on adding a second 4870x2. QuadFire is Intense. That would DESTROY any game. Make sure to take pics for us. I would like to request some benchmarks too XD

Well as things are looking, IMO ATI is going to stay in the lead. Nvidia wont be using GDDR5 until the end of next year and ATI is already using that technology, so by that time ATI might have a new super weapon up their sleeves. Who knows? Only time will tell.

Looking forward to the pics, thats for sure.

why a 1200w psu?

Well partly more efficiency so in the long run it will end up saving me some money and this computer will probably last me a good 5-6 years with some upgrading so just leaving my options open but i see what your saying i could have just gotten a 1000 watt.

Shipped today, oc to 4.0 gh, i might end up swapping out the PSU if it puts out too much heat i know its way to powerful.

done, and i might end up picking up a psu off of newegg if this new one runs too hott could always use it later if i never needed too. Any suggestions on a PSU though.

Wow. Your older computer is well, older than even mine.
Make sure you give up plenty of pics.

4.0 on a Q9650 . NICE ! i only got 3.6 out of mine. but im sure i could push it to 4. i cant belive they got it stable .at 4. ur lucky man. that thing is gunna kick arse
