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.

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 (http://files.enjin.com/137231/Overclocking/Xcel/AH2%20Settings.png) 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. :)

Skuzzy, why 4 HD's?

Skuzzy, why 4 HD's?
I also run 4 HD's. 1 x 250 GB for OS and applications, 1 x 250 GB for storage (documents, photos, media, etc.), 1 x 500 GB mirrors discs 1 and 2 and 1 x 500 GB network backup (including standard windows backup of discs 1 and 2).

Skuzzy, why 4 HD's?
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.

It was on sale at the time I was buying the parts, It recommended a 700watt PSU minimum. Think I paid like $60 for it or something to that effect (marked down from $80)
