I'm confuse of what psu to buy...

Thermaltake Toughpower 1000w / corsair-hx1000w / Zalman ZM1000-HP 1,000W

As for the mobo, one that will support SLi and an ATX type...

-------------------------
Intel Q6600
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1066
XFX GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
Caviar 160GB / 750GB

any thoughts/suggestions is greatly appreciated...

Hello Lamigas,

it depends what you are going to use it for?

if you are going for gaming then you need a power supply that is SLi capable.

as for motherboard i am a fan of this Newegg.com - ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards.

Heheh Joey. That motherboard seems like a real pain in the arsey. The cons don't make it seem worth 150$
And 1000 watts will make your electricity go through the roof; but if thats what you need; might be worth it. If it were a server or something. I play the newest games with only a 500 watt one.

@joey

this will be use for graphics and gaming...

@eathan

hehe... i was thinking of possible upgrades.... like having dual video card and an additional hdd...

guys, what about this board EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1... is this good...??

That board looks pretty good if you plan on using it for gaming/CADing. Seems you can put two high quality pcie vid cards. If you plan on doing that, maybe a 1000 watt PS would be okay. And if you don't plan on using any older devices that use LPT & COM ports.
Price seems fair and I have not heard much bad about EVGA. Seems I had a vid card with that logo on it (nvidia).
Thats my opinion.

ethan, thank you... i'll settle with this board then...
