p5q deluxe

your psu is overkill. 800 is about right for that build.

P5q Deluxe doesn't support ddR3
Rampage Formula doesn't support dd3 either.

So for now Rampage Extreme but i think it's quite expensive.

what psu would you recommend.

I've never had a quad but don't they have the same size ihs? The problem with with the 4 is the outer pipes dont make much contact with the ihs..

but on a quad the 2 pairs of cores are a small distance apart. the 1284 has 2pipes on each pair of cores.
