[quote="MrBlah";p="41068"]good build 
i have a e6700... its better than ur 6750, i OC'ed it ALOT[/quote]
I decided against the Quad (Q6600) since it is just a waste - the mobo supports quad if I decide to go that route.
The CPU can be over clocked like no ones biz - plus it has the higher FSB.
I bought the EVGA card for the sweetness, and IF the new cards come out soon, EVGA has the "step-up" program.
Modular PSU will be able to handle future energy needs with an additional cable to power a new vid card (8 pin).
The rig is pimped to handle the future, and will be great with some OC tweaks on CPU, memory, and Vid.

IMO
Corsair > Antec > Enermax
That corsair PSU you picked out is great. It's what is most highly recommended in new rigs @ forums.pcmech.com and hardforums.com
Enjoy the computer!

Re: Batman's New Rig -
Question (looking for more info than "get a new cooler")
All installed - all good to go - BioShock is installed and I am loving it.
Only ting though -
I have the E6750 Duo2 2.66, and the stock fan that came with it - doesn't always spin - is this normal? And it only run just under 1,000 RPMS - seems really slow and sketchy for a CPU cooler....
Input - is this normal for this stock cooler? I have always had better ones out of the box / or pimped my rig out with a schwag cooler that you can control it's speed.
