go for a raptor and then get a 250gb data drive get a 400W+ PSU, but make sure its a QUALITY ONE, ie an antec 430 true power will work, or you can get a flashy xconnect or something of that nature
Looks decent. Course there an alternative to Geil Ultra-X ram, Corsair, Crucial, OCZ all make capable stuff. PSU wise, go for a Tagan SLI tbh. You want about 400w-500w ones, depends how much you want to spend. And no, you don't need watercooling, but it is Cool
go for some samsung uccc dimms(found as corsair value select). some of these clock to 250 2.5-3-3-7 which is great for cheap mems. get a good PSU, ocz powerstream or similar.you will need its good rails. yup watercooling if you want to overclock further, quieter and lower temps. if going SLI with 2x7800gtx be aware will need good case airflow as these exhaust serious amount of heat.

And the damage is $AU 3670 from all that.. Oh yeah, and add 120 for a 535W power supply Enermax EG565P-VE-FMA.. Thanks guys.
