Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

If I don't order something in the next week or two I'll come back closer then - you can let the thread die at this point, this was the kind of advice I was looking for. I've got some more legwork to do before I can decide.
Thanks again for the advice.
Thanks. 2 & 4 - good points will dig into those components to see what's newer.
For 1, is there a good FAQ for selecting an appropriate PSU for a given config? I'm really just eye-balling Nvidia recommendations with NewEgg high-rating components. Not so scientific.
For 3, that makes...
