I am trying to go over the specs before i buy anything more, need some professional help.
Oh...I'm pretty sure i got the right power supply but please check. i used an online calculator and got an estimate of at least 600 WATTS to run this rig, so i went 680 since im not going to 'rig' it out that much.
