Dont need anything bigger. Have 1 500 now and 400gb free if that tells you anything.

Could get by with just a dvd rom but might one day burn a dvd.

I am under the impression that the power supply must be version 2.2 to be compatible with the i7 and 1366 mobo....

anyone is welcome to correct me if I am wrong, as that correction might save me a bit of money as well.

i'm looking at this PSU for mine... i intend to get duplicate videocards rather than bleeding edge cards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139007 so i want the powersupply to run them.
