your psu is a bit over the top in terms of watts would be better if you had one with around 500W-600W
Matt
Lower watts better than a higher wattage crap brand.............yes, but he has selected a good brand(OCZ) so that will still be fine, and it will mean if he adds other components later on in life then he will never need to upgrade his psu, thats my 2 cents

lol but his system will require a harddrive of around 400W max and I thought the planet was heading towards efficiency rather then power hungry devices I just think 300W is a bit over the top in terms of head room

if he ever decided to throw another card in sli... not to mention all the stuff he could fit in that stacker lol
also i agree on the msi 650i and g.skill ddr2-800, save you about $100 and perfrom just the same.

It would....but by the time you would want SLI selling your current 8800GTS ands then using the money to buy a better card will be better for you..it almost always is.
