Hey guys I'm about to build a new computer and just wanted to double check if this is a good system and where/if it can be improved without costing too much more of course. Also I'm not really sure about the whole Core i7 thing as I don't know much about it but I'm told it's good. Anyways here goes:

Mobo: Asus P6T
CPU: Core i7 920
RAM: 3x2GB Kingston DDR3 RAM
HDD: WD 1TB (plus a 750gb from my current computer)
GPU: I'm retaining my 1GB 9800GTX+ from my current computer.
OS: 64bit Vista Ultimate
Case: Coolermaster HAF 932

Need help with what PSU I would need for all that and if those parts are all good
Thanks!

Tis Fine. Although I recommend upgrading to the dx11 cards when released, but that 9800GTX+ Should hold games over untill then. Also try getting atleast a 600W from corsair.

wow that is one buff machine.....honestly if that is just for games, im sorry its a bit of an over kill, you could have a decent gaming machine for about half the cost of that beast.

but if your willing to spend the money on it, its an epic system

I'm not sure about the motherboard, but the specs look good. And I would go with this 850w Seventeam power supply. It's has an instant $30 discount, and ships for free...

Yeah it may seem that way now, but I would rather spend a bit more and have a system that lasts than buying one which I end up spending more on with incremental upgrades.
