Thanks again for the input guys. And yes I did mean to say Powercolor instead of CoolerMaster :P.

Hmm if the Intel 330 is actually not that good I might just stick it into my Macbook(was my original plan with it anyways). I will look into the 840 Pro and the HyperX instead.

What do you guys think of this 650W PSU?

again...if it meets you satisfaction at the res you play...I would save

AMD pricing is really fair right now...if they push out GCN refresh that's only 20% faster than 7xxx cards then they would really have to undercut the current line-up

edit: oh snap...7970 will remain their fastest single GPU card. May be they really are focusing on consoles this year. Nvidia already posted record profits this year too

I'm getting the HX650 instead. It's not completely modular but I've read it's almost the same as the AX650.

I'm also intrested in the ASUS IPS screen that's a few days after. Hopefully it'll come in around the $299 mark. The slim bezel looks awesome.
