How's the PSU

BFG has actually been said to make some really nice, solid PSU's. The specs on that bad boy look great as well. 20Amp x 4 12v rails.

Who told you that? BFG PSUs aren't that good. JonnyGuru was hired by them... so let's see them get better.

For the price, there are better PSUs like PCP&C, Silverstone, or Corsair.

At least when they first started coming out with them, they were. I read a few reviews about them when they first started making them (about a year ago I think).

Actually, this particular 800W is the one BFG PSU I don't plan to make any drastic changes to. It's actually a decent unit. The only real complaint is that there are only two PCIe connectors and they're only 6-pin. Other than that, it's rated at 40°C (so it can actually put out 800W in a system) is typically 80% efficient and is relatively quiet (despite the pair of 80's.)

Here's an unbiased review: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...ly-review.html

Once they're out of stock, I'll probably just take the same platform, change the heatsinks and put it in a housing with a 135MM fan and, of course, attach much longer and more PCIe cables.

FYI: This 800W is not to be confused with the "ES-800" I'm currently working on for BFG.
