I don't see a power supply on that list, though. I thought I had a power supply that was sufficient, but I had to run back to Fry's and pick up an Antec 750 Earth Watt unit that fixed the booting problem. The machine just simply wouldn't boot before I replaced the power supply.

I got a corsair 750, im hoping that'll be enough to push this beast.

Don't know about the rest of you, but for me the case is pretty much the most important and most difficult part to choose in a new pc build. I can literally take weeks to pick one out.  |
I got a Lian Li case, nothing special:
