I would look at the 12v rails amperage and make sure its more than 32amps for safety...

Thanks TMP-Man.
How many +12v rails do you recommend? And is the (COLORS-IT-550w-Titan)(one +12v rail) worth buying for my system.

You're buying a lot of expensive hardware, plus you plan on overclocking...do NOT cut corners on the PSU. You should be spending $100 USD (50 GBP) or more for a decent name brand unit. For example:

With the latest preemptive price cuts from AMD in anticipation of upcoming Intel offensive move - you might want to reconsider this rig as a whole. The 65nm Athlon 64 X2 5000+ now cost about the same as an E4300 & that sure is one heck of a bargain over here in US.

But if you object to that idea you might want to wait until after the 22nd when Intel counters with their price cuts so that you are getting the most for your purchase.

Lately I've been thinking if these back & forth price wars get too competitive I just may be tempted to bite at an upgrade from my 754 3400+ myself............LOL

Thanks “jam” for your advice

I can get a E4300 (new) for £113 inc postage

on eBay. + The overclocked E4300 @3.2 GHz will out perform a E6700 maybe even a EX6800

I’m doing this upgrade for the game Crysis.

It will be released in June 2007 so I have some time to upgrade. I might wait for the 8900gts or 8900gs.
