Morning!

I love your graphics card selection. I've gone with BFG for my last two cards and they run beautifully. Also good choice on the PSU.

Looks good ... not sure I understand the rationale behind going two of those video cards in SLI when you could do a single GTX 260 for about the same cost.

The PSU will be fine for the config you have, might want to bump up to a slightly larger one if you were to upgrade your GPUs down the road.

I have the same mobo, CPU, and RAM ... has worked flawlessly.

Ooo i didn't even see the SLi config. I agree with Shazza. Go with 1 card.

Changed my mind to a 750w PSU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139006

also going with a 280

If I ever decide to grab another 280, would that psu be able to handle both the cards?

Yep ... you'll be in good shape with 750, even with 2 x 280 cards.

The 280s are good value now, cause the 285s really aren't much different - but generally more expensive.

Good Luck with your project!

Well my credit card hates me.
