get the corsair hx 620W. .if u're going the SLI way i think 9600GT scales a lot better . but a single 8800GTS will do fine. . its much cooler than the 8800GT.
you might also consider evga instead of MSI . not that MSI is bad or anything. .evga is more popular . u can get it from tirupathi enterprises. or forums.erodov.com might be a good start.

Ah. Okay. if the MSI 8800GTS has G92 core, then certainly it will outperform 8800GT.

8800GT is also with G92 core.

The problem that ajayashish is facing is that the VX550 is not available he is considering it cause it has the 8 pin PCI Express connector and thus makes it futureproof for videocard upgrades.The HX620 doesn't hve the 8 pin connector.But know this that new GPUs with 8 pin power requirements are also supplied with 6 to 8 pin power cable so u can connect it without any issues if the 12V rail has enough juice.
If u want a pure 8 pin power supply then Tagan PSUs are also there like the BZ600 for 6400 and the BZ700 here- *www.theitwares.com/smps/smps.htm.

Sagargv I have an interesting find that on the 8600gt and 9600gt the fan spins down to 30% when temp crosses 60c so it produces a lot of heat and possible crashes in benchmarks and games.
By the way nVidia team has been informed and is currently working on the drivers to fix this.

Thanks guys... no one said if MSI P7N is fine or not...

I answered your query about the board in post # 8 itself.
I wouldnt buy 780i based board at all. There is nothing new about it, its just 680i with a chip to make it PCIe 2.0 ready,nothing more, no wonder it doesnt clock much.So its really not wise to give a premium for a chipset that has nothing new to offer.

then what to do... i need a PCI 2.0 board with future CPU compatibility..

^^^ then u hafta go with either 750i SLi or 780i SLi if u must setup SLi.else u can buy X38 chipset based mobos.u'll get pcie 2.0 and crossfire support but u'll loss SLi.
now u hafta choose between a better chipset [X38] or SLi support (750/780i).

Why is PCIe 2.0 so important to you ?
P35 is not PCIe 2.0 yet all current 'PCIe 2.0' work flawlessly on it.
It is a well known fact that even with PCIe 1.0 , full bandwidth is STILL not utilised,that PCIe 2.0 is necessary.

Frankly, your requirement of SLI board has made it difficult to choose a perfect board which is the best bang for the buck.

IF SLI goes out of the equation,suddenly there are so many options !

Compare Abit IX38 QuadGT and MSI P7N Platinum and tell me honestly, which board impresses you more.

If SLI is mandatory then i would say get the 790i and nothing else. If you are game with it, i will suggest you decent memory for that board.You can go with EVGA 790i or XFX one,whichever you like.It will be an expensive affair though.

This is what annoys me, its like Nvidia is dictating the terms here.
Meaning, if you want SLI ( Their super elite,awesome, out of this world,droolworthy multi GPU technology) then you have to compulsory buy their crappy, pathetic chipset based motherboards too.The one that is really good is so obscenely expensive.Even Intel flagship chipset isnt that expensive.
Here is a simple comparison,
Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 is cheaper by a healthy 20$ or so compared to EVGA/XFX 790i Ultra SLI. Gigabyte has much better build quality and is more feature rich compared to EVGA/XFX boards which are just reference boards.
No thanks, when i am spending my money, i would love to have my options open,thats the reason i love Crossfire.Intel chipsets right from P965 support it, AMD chipsets obviously support it.
I dont think SLI has so much compatibility as Crossfire.
This is just my opinion though.

I hope you get my point.

i think that he wants pcie2.0 support cuz he doesnt wanna upgrade mobo b4 2yrs or so.
by the time games actually start utilizing the full bandwidth provided by pcie2.0,pcie3.0 or higher will be there.at the present rate it'll take more than 2yrs b4 games utilize the full pcie2.0 bandwidth.
so i think its no use getting a pcie2.0 enabled mobo just to make ur buy future proof.
buy a mobo which gives the best performance in ur budget.if it has pcie2.0 support then its an added bonus.:)

Games or rather software doesnt utilise the bandwidth, its the card which does.The cards need to utilise the full available bandwidth to give good performance which is not the case right now.

Ok i am completly agreeing to what u said... i am ready to sacrifice SLI options. Now u need to tell me which board... if it is Asus it will be great because i have used Asus for last 5-6 yrs and i like the build of the board... and also which card to go for... just remember i must be able to upgrade my CPU in future... i will be getting Q6600 now ... with 4GB ram,...

^^^ how much wud u like to spend on that mobo

if i were u i wud buy a IX38-Quad Gt and use the xtra money to get a 3870X2

Asus is overpriced.
If you want you can go for Asus Maximus Formula for ~ 15k or so.
Abit IX38 QuadGT is cheaper at 12k or so.
You can think of going for HD3870X2 at ~ 23k, later on you can add another one and do CorssfireX (4 GPUs ...oh yeah ! :D )
