CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX 750 W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: This PSU is a beast! Powers the following w/o any problems: Intel i7 920 (overclocked to 4.2, 1.4v Vcore) Noctua Cpu Cooler NH-U12P Evga X58 Classified 6gb Corsair Dominator 1600mhz 1.65v x2 Evga Gtx 285 SSC SLI (overclocked 750/1700/1450) Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional x2 Western Digital VelociRaptor 150gb Raid 0 Antec 1200 case

Cons: Not Modular.

Overall Review: Corsair is the best!

NEWEGG!!!!

ASUS GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5
ASUS GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5

Pros: Ok, so is the picture right and if so this must be the Asus 460 Directcu TOP version right? The 460 Top has higher factory overclocks then listed here. Please confirm so we can know what we are buying.

Cons: sigh still waiting.....

Overall Review: More info gogo

Asus=win

ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Oh..and if this helps...here's what I found (online) between the two MOBO's P6X58D "E" vs "Premium" - USB 3 & SATA6 - Premium's chipset cooling solution is slightly different / better - P6X58D-E has Marvell® 9128 while P6X58D Premium has Marvell® 9123 Controller. It means the E version has a better controller. E version also supports RAID in SATA 6gb while Premium does not - P6X58D-E also has better VIA® VT6308P controller while the Premium has VIA® VT6308 (IEEE 1394) - P6X58D-E only has 1 Gigabit LAN controller Marvell 88E8056® while Premium has 2. - P6X58D-E doesnt have the RESET button on the motherboard while the Premium has, but both have the POWER and MEMOK buttons.

Cons: Just dropped in price by $30 in a week :(

Overall Review: I love this motherboard so much and newegg rocks!

Wow just wow.

ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This board is super reliable, its boring. Overclocked my i7 930 to 4.0 easy with 1.275 vcore. 3-5% faster then my old Evga classified board. Chipset cooling is awesome for passive heatsinks. Comparing the P6X58D-E and the P6X58D Premium next to each other it like a game of 'spot the difference'. Everything that makes the latter such a great premium board is present and correct here, with the only major omission being the second Gigabit LAN controller. The on-board reset button has also been omitted but the two PCBs are otherwise seemingly identical. Considering only a small proportion of users are likely to use a second controller, this is a wise omission and brings the board down to a more affordable price bracket. A slight modification has also been made to the heat pipe configuration, but this isn't something that I can see significantly affecting cooling performance. This also uses the newer Marvell 9128 6GB/s Controller.

Cons: Finer DRAM voltage timings preferable

Overall Review: Asus is the best. This mobo is better then my $450 EVGA board I had.

Amazing GPU

ASUS Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card EAH5850 DIRECTCU/2DIS/1GD5
ASUS Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card EAH5850 DIRECTCU/2DIS/1GD5

Pros: Wow this card overclocks like a dream. With a minor voltage adjusment via Asus Smartdoctor, I was able to run 975 on the core and 1350 on the memory, faster clocks then the 5870 first night trying :) The cooling design is way better then reference designs.

Cons: Its Asus you kidding.

Overall Review: Just buy it already.

Perfect overclocking board.
