.............or does anyone have any other suggestions...........is 600W overkill? 
Now, lets talk HDD's...........how about a couple of these in RAID 1? ('course I don't yet know how to put together a RAID 1 setup)   |
*bump* ('cos I'm thinking of ordering the majority of the components today--so I could use the input here)

Small hard drives...hoping to get them setup in RAID 1
I went for a single GPU because according to the Tomshardware article, SLI only really kicks in noticably at 1600 x 1200 resolution. Monitors that support that resolution are either too big for my taste or don't have sub 20ms response times--making their use for gaming questionable and hence making the entire SLI experience questionable.
