I'd put the XFX PSU in my main rig (Phemom II X2 555 @ 3.2GHz * Gigabyte 890GX * 4 x 2GB OCz Platinum 1333 * WD Caviar Green 500GB * Win 7 Pro * In Win B2 (from Verran Contest) * PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti * OCz MODXTreme 700W) and move my 700W to my wife's rig (Core2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz * ASUS P5N-E SLI * 2 x 2GB G.Skill 800 * WD Caviar Blue 250GB * Win 7 Pro * NVidia 7200 GS * Basic 430W)

well.........I'm currently over-reacting to AMD's inability to give me the FX8150 performance i was hoping for......so on the way right now are a nice new p8p67 ws revolution, an Intel 2500K, and some Mushkin ram to match. This leaves me with an extra 990FX Sabertooth, 975 be phenom ii, and a set of Mushkin radioactive ram. Since I'm not quite pissed enough to turn them into a boat anchor, what id like to do with it is turn it into a test-bench. As messing around with computers has become a full time hobby for me, Id like to try to turn it into a full time job.......

If I were lucky enough to win, I'd use the PSU for a semi-portable PC that I will be taking with me for my move to Brazil. So far I have (almost) decided on these components:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K

MB: ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z LGA 1155 Intel Z68

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Case: LIAN LI PC-V354B Black Aluminum MicroATX Mini Tower

SSD: ???

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s

GPU:???

PSU: Pending....... :biggrin:
