thinking about going dual 6800NU's once i get a PCI-E mobo..
would my 500W bluestorm be able to handle those w/an OC'd 640?
 
Maybe - you'd be pushing its limits though. I usually recommend the next model up, the FSP550-60PLG for new builds like this, but if you already have the AX500-A it might be worth a shot.
 
Depends on how much clock on the 640. Could go either way.

Yeah, deals don't get much better than that. Do plan on replacing the fan with something a bit more sedate, it has a server-spec wind monster fitted stock. You can either use one a bit tamer than stock and let it remain on the supply's fan controller, or use something about half the power of stock and wire it directly to the 12V.
