I wasn't sure where to put this post. The memory section was my favorite, so here I am . I have a "250gb western digital HD", and an old school "Sound Blaster Live" sound card. I plan to upgrade those later, for now I wanted the core of the PC to be a strong overclocking rig. I have read tons of reviews, and taken tons of suggestions in posts. But this will be my first rig I put together and I need a final critique before I take the plunge. I think most of the components I listed are of quality. The only one I've been sitting on the fence with is the power supply. I plan to do the SLI mod to the motherboard and go 2x 6800 GT's later.
-Do you think the fortron will do the job?
-Any components you would suggest I change?
-Suggestions needed!
Edit: Oh by the way this is a rig for gaming
