You know what I think is even more important than the parts, the amount of electricity i.e. watts, that the system will require. A 1200 watts PSU is on the system with the AMD Radeon HD 6990. It drains a crazy amount of power. So much that it caused a circuit breaker to flip more than once.
Before this system, I'd always bought PSUs with the case (except for one store brand aluminum case that didn't come with one), but I was surprised this time to find that I couldn't find any decently priced case/PSU combos that would support my new computer, which only draws just north of 600W, much less than your crazy 1200. Good grief, you could practically dry clothes with that much heat.
