Is there a switch to turn off the lights on the fans? I found Corsair Graphite today. Same inside as the Corsair obsidian but with a side mesh panel for extra fans.

You don't need no 1000W of shit.
http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-570-sli-review/13
578W peak on an OC'ed, watercooled i7 965 machine with CCFL's from the wall. And that's not even DC power. You have to convert AC to DC, which then would equal about 500W. And take off an another 50W because their setup is more intensive than yours. 450W for 570 SLi. Nothing even a 750W PSU can't handle.
OCZ ZX 1000W - 199$ (just in case you want your system very power hungry xD)

You don't need a 430$ board to overclock a 2600k to 4.5GHz or more... a 200$ board is more than enough (Asus, MSI, AsRock, wich you can't go wrong with them atm) and save that 200$ to improve something in your rig (dual GPU's maybe?).
I should probably update my first post with what my potential build will be. John Doe I was strongly considering the GTX 580 so there will be quite a but more power being used if I over clock them in them I think...

The more I read the more I am starting to agree with the board and I am looking into other ASUS options. And everyone is telling me games are pretty much not going to use hyper threading in the next year and the price difference isn't worth it for the I7 so I am going with the I5 2500K.
720W is from the plug, not from the PSU itself. You have to convert AC to DC by counting in inefficiencies, which usually is from %85. If I assume 650W, then you have to pull of an another 50W because of their setup. They have CCFL lights, their setup is watercooled and the CPU they use is more power hungry than yours. You'd pull 600W abouts stock, say 650-700W with an OC. A solid 900W unit can easily handle it.
I think you would make a big mistake not to wait for Radeon 7900 Series, but the decision is yous.
I know its from the wall but for some reason I didn't think they over clocked the GPU's so I thought I would need more power. Thanks for clearing this up and I will probably stay with a 850W PSU now.
An OC doesn't add more than 50-100W anyway.
As for the PSU again, you're better off with the Topower PowerBird 900. Don't fall for the Corsair name, my suggestion is a better unit. There're better deals than Corsair unless you want to pay for the Corsair name.

The Hyper is a budget cooler. Not that it's bad, it's a good cooler and would be sufficient, but if you want, you can get something like a Noctua NH-D14 (dual tower) as was suggested before. Or a Thermaltake Frio if you want a smaller one (single tower).
Your pictures kinda distracted me on the first read-through of this. Would I be better off going liquid cooled at this price? Something like the H60?
