Believe it or not, you don't need a PC Power & Cooling to power that rig. A Seasonic S12-500 would power it just fine, if you really felt spendy moving up to the S12-600 would work.

Also if you dislike seasonic for some reason you could probably buy a Silverstone ST65ZF but that's going to be noisier and less efficient I believe.

even the fsp 600w epsilon will be enough

really? well I think that might be cutting it too close so I think I will stick with the a minimum of 700wats. I wanna find a review of the 700w fsp to see how loud it is.
 
hehe well noise matters more than overclock. Ever since last year, it was overclock as #1 target. But after a year of listening to a 4X 6500rpm fans, and you go to your friends house to hear his quiet pc, well it helps a lot in gaming when im wearing my headset. Belive when I say that I can hear my fans through my $200 noise canceling headset. So if my CNPS9500 doesn't lower the temps enuf, I might just go w/c. But that's y i got this stepping so that it will overclock well for less noise. Believe me when i say my last pc was a beast hehe. I had it overclocked from 2.4 to 3.7ghz hehe. Best part was it was on air.
 
I have decided on the fsp 700w epsilon. It's quiet, closest thing I can get to the PC P&C 850SSI minus the pricetag, incredible performance, while being the only psu that is both crossfire and sli certified.
