I don't need a new graphics card anytime soon due to my motherboard upgrade to handle all my fans, but with the following things in my case as of the first full week of July...
* ASUS Crosshair V Formula (Soundblaster X-Fi 2 Integrated)
* x3 200mm Fans + x2 140mm Fans (HAF-X)
* PNY GTX 470
* 125 Watt AMD Phenom II X6 @ 3.3 GHz (1100T)
* 1.5 Volt DDR3 OEM RAM (x4 x 2GB) (Too many Volts for the board, according to the guide / onboard LED)
* 850 Watt CoolerMaster Modular PSU (66AMP +12V One Rail)
...and with these up and coming...
* Coolermaster V8 AfterMarket CPU Cooler
* Mushkin 1.3V DDR3 8GB (2x x 4GB) RAM (Dual Channel)
...Should I get a higher watt PSU to accomodate this possible GPU upgrade...
* GTX 590 (x2 8-pin, 700 Watts Min. PSU Needed)
According to this: http://www.antec.outervision.com/PSUEngine
I need About 656 Watts (1 7200 RPM SATA, 1 LED 140 Fan, 1 LED 230 Fan, 2 Regular 230 fans, 1 regular 140 fan. 1 DVD+/-RW / CD Combo. 2 USB Devices that draw power. Sound Blaster w/ Front Bay. +1 120MM Fan for the V8 cooler when installed. The motherboard has two +12V Rail connections onboard, so it's actually high-end.)
