Im not a fan of the oversized PSUs, but is that 850W Corsair enough for those dual 590s? I mean, each of them eats like 300 watts under full load...

Heres my system:
custom built (Frankencheapo)
cheap case
Gigabyte 780 series micro-atx board
PhenomII x2 555 unlocked, runs as a quad core now, at 3.8 GHz, undervoltaged - what a luck i had there
CM Hyper212+ cooler
4*2GB Kingston ddr-1600
Hd-5830
2 WD 750GB HDDs
64 gigs OCZ Agility II
Cooler Master 500W PSU
win7

kinda old, kinda slow, but was kinda cheap and enough for what im using it for.

Like most here, custom-built;

Operating System: Windows 7 64bit
Computer Case: NZXT M59
Power Supply: Seasonic X750
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX r2.0
CPU: AMD FX-8320 @ 4.5GHz
-Cooler: Corsair H80i
Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB (2x 4gb) DDR3-1600
Hard drive: WD Black 1TB
Video Card: Sapphire 7970 OC (w/ Boost)
Monitor: ASUS 24" VS248H-P 1080p
Keyboard: Logitech G19 (w/ Logitech G13 gamepad)
Mouse: Logitech G700
Sound: Logitech X530 5.1 Speakers (w/ Logitech G35 headset)
Controls: Logitech 3D Pro + Logitech G27 Racing Wheel/Pedals

As for how well AMD runs, I haven't had much testing done with the FX in AH but an offline test showed an average of ~65FPS with the following settings a few months back. I would have to re-test online and with my current settings (some small changes in OC and in-game settings) to get an accurate sample though.  :)

Statistically the smaller hard drives are less prone to failure, over time.  I can also spread the Windows swap file across those drives.  I also have 8TB of storage on my network.  It is mostly for video work.
