I am looking to make some purchases within the next (80 minutes) 6PM Central time now Microcenter closes at 9pm

I need a PSU and a heatsink for my CPU<---

My specs are in my sig

My 2nd GTX 260 came in the mail for SLI (woot)

So I will be going to Microcenter to pickup a PSU and aftermarket cpu heatsink! I would like it to be modular...I was looking at this one.I forgot to add they price match

The reason I am getting from Microcenter Is because the shipping cost pretty much equal the same or less as if I go to the store and get charged tax. Plus i can get it today!!!

Or this one?

I need help tho with a CPU heatsink...I just really want 3.6GHZ stable daily and I am a happy camper. I have the C0 and I intend on keeping it until the D0's are like 180$
 
I would get a Xigmatek HDT-s1283 or Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme for a CPU cooler.

As for the PSU, I'm not sure how much power your system draws, but I would get the 750W. I'd rather have something higher than needed to be safe and for possible upgrades, etc.
 
Yeah...what about the cables? Does anyone have this PSU in the HAF case? Im worried about clutter :p

The HAF seems to be a pretty spacious case with good cable management, I wouldn't think you would have any problems with clutter.

HDT-S1283 (looks like you need to order special brackets?) Which microcenter.com doesnt carry.

I'm pretty sure the "Dark Knight" edition comes with the bracket. I don't even use the bracket and I haven't had any problems.
