Come one, come all! As pc building threads are my favorite kind of thread, I want everyone to join me in my revelry as I fantasize about all the bits and bobs that go into the fun, fun, fun process of building a new pc. I've got some extra cash coming my way (hooray for hard work) and I intend to blow it all on a new computer. I'm still on the Nehalem platform, and I figure it's about time I make the jump. I've put together a tentative list of parts on pc-part-picker which can be found here.
Now, where you guys n gals come in... I need your help with this. I shop from time to time, but I'm not on the up n up on what's best right now, plus, I always forget things, especially when I get excited (which I am), so I need your help.
I'm sure I want the 3770K and the Sabertooth mobo, and the noctua, the crucial RAM (actually this low profile version), and the SSD, but things I'm uncertain about are the video card and the power supply. I didn't really have a rhyme nor reason to picking those. I don't even know if I want to do SLI.
Basically, what I'm asking you folks is...
Thanks for reading.

Basically, what I'm asking you folks is...
- What video card should I get? I want something moderately future proof, that doesn't consume too much of the budget.
- Should I do SLI?
- What power supply should I get?
