Help Ghost pick one

A single 280 makes my 700W cry under load

LOL
Well all he needs to do is get himself a corsair 750 that's rated for crossfire, its simple!!
Ive got a mate running 2 4870's in crossfire with lotsa hard drives and add on's to his pc and his 700watt thermaltale runs all his crap like a dream.
Also I asked some of the guys on overclock.net what they thought and they all said 750watt would be more than enough to run 2x 4870's in crossfire.

Ok, so it's almost time for my to go to JHB and get my baby. Just another 2 quick questions, how does the ram PCint is selling compare to the listed ram? Also how does this board compare http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/asus_p6t/ (same price as listed one).

PS: I know you guys put time into this and know what you doing but maybe this board was just overlooked, I know you guys know more about this than me so I'm just asking.

1. The Ram at pcinter is just plain ram(nothing wrong with it), they just don't always have stock!!
2. The Asus P6T is a wicked board and i'd say its slightly better value for money, its also new and its an asus so it'll be as reliable as can be!!

I know I am a bit late to the party(have valid reasons), but I would say go for the AMD system. Get a nice cooler and OC to 3.6Ghz...

My 2c.

 

[The Joker]

LOL
He's taking the i7 rig mate..A bit to late..lol!!

 

[SharkBait]

/me cries...

WHY....?

 

[The Joker]

LOL let the guy be mate, he wants the i7, he's not into overclocking.

I read if I wanted to OC later the I7 is also pretty decent.

 

[The Joker]

The i7 is a awsome overclocker mate!!

Thanks to everyone for all the help, flying tomorrow night (tonight, check post time) and will be getting my system while I'm in Jhb. Hopefully it won't be to much of a mission to fly.
Special thanks to Joker, I really appreciate the effort man.

[The Joker]

Yikes ...... if I were you I'd scrimp a wee bit somewhere and pay DHL to courier it for me. At least it'll be safe.

 

[The Joker]

Mmmmm...I dnt know if that's such a good idea mate. you'll have to rap all the parts in bubble rap and assemble it when you get home, or ship the parts down to Durbz...

Yikes ...... if I were you I'd scrimp a wee bit somewhere and pay DHL to courier it for me so I can polish it for you. At least it'll be safe.

Was thinking I'll buy my case in durbz and carry the parts as hand luggage in a bag, I'm allowed 7kg's
