I just got the Asus Sabertooth x79 and a 3930k cpu, Corsair Dominator 4x8gb kit (Which DOES NOT work without using the "MEM-OK" Button to find safe default timings), and a Cooler Master TPC 812 cooler. I am running these with a Cooler Master 650W power supply and an ATI Radeon 4870 from the previous setup. I have been looking at either the 7950 3GB ATI card or a pair of 6870's in Crossfire. I am leaning towards the 7950 as I can always add another later when they are cheaper to upgrade again without throwing away the card. Will the 650W cooler master handle the 7950 and the other hardware I have ok? Or should I upgrade that too to be safe. I was looking at an Enermax Platinum 1200W, but, already spending too much, wouldn't mind holding off on that til later. Might just save my life from my wife… lol.
I have three HDDs, (2 standard sata + 1 64GB SSD) and a DVD Burner also. Thanks.
