I have two questions~ 1. How does this build look? Any improvements without being outrageously more expensive?

What would be a good PSU for this? I want to get something that will overclock my processor (It's a 3.0, so maybe shooting for a 3.5~3.6?). I just don't want to mess up and buy something that would fry my mobo.. Any help is greatly appreciated <3 ~PoW
Enermax 620W will run that no problem. Newegg.com - ENERMAX Liberty ELT620AWT 620W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies if you wanna spend a bit more cash upgrade the graphics to 9800GTX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130339
Thanks alot, BoBBY. I was really nervous about getting a PSU. Like I said, not that great with building comps yet.. The only thing that I dislike about my mobo is that it can't crossfire, but I don't need that much FPS. Not with that 9880 that you suggested. It looks really nice; It's like $756 for this build, and if it goes well, it will be a pretty GODLY computer. Thanks for it again, man. If ya have any other suggestions, just lemme know! ~PoW
If your getting a 9800 GTX you won't need crossfire, that's for ATI cards only. Nvidia cards use SLI.
