I must say I do agree with you Mussels & CDDude. That 700W linked above is a good deal.

@dtat

Wouldn't worry too much about getting 8GB. Did you check out the OCZ ram on Amazon? PC8500 Low Volt kit? Many have claimed to be hitting 1100mhz 5-5-5-13 @ 1.9v with the kit. 4770 would work great for 1280x1024.

I had a set of 2GB 800 CL4 reapers, max I could get out of em was 1080 5-5-5-18 2.1v. SO I think you may be at peak with your kits.

i cant even get 960 at the moment, i'll be swapping back to my corsair XMS2 tomorrow, to see how it fares.

Whichever kit gets 960 at the lowest voltage, wins.
