I was actually gonna get those instead but I figured the extra 30$ was worth it. They are a good pair of headsets I would get them.

Naw I ran my E7200 at 3.2ghz for 9 hours on prime and its stable as a rock. I run all the stuff in my specs on a 550w so 650w is more than enough :)

Oh about 20fps :p

Seriously ... its quite hard to tell. You will first need to overclock that e7200. Your probly going to see 35fps.

Here, this will give you a couple bucks to float around with and you may be able to get yourself a bigger HDD with the saved $$. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371015

wouldn't he need a psu with atleast x2 8pins. He did say crossfire was a option later on. Might as well get a psu that will be ready for crossfire.

Then I would go with a 450-500w psu. Look at that OCZ 500w I linked its cheap and FSP makes OCZ psu's so its good.
