FOr mouse, I would suggest MX518 as I have owned one before and it was great. (Although it is large and may be troublesome for people with small hands.)
I have ordered a Corsair M60 for now after seeing some rave reviews about it. You cant go wrong with Deathadder also I feel. smile.gif

Thanks for the suggestions!! smile.gif

If you're not going to SLI, don't worry about getting a bigger PSU, the one you listed will be fine

i say fail on 2-3 things
a) AsRock mobo thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif
This mobo is good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138355
b) RAM..yyyah...what RAms is that?? look @ these:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147094 ..good stuff
c)bah.That $80 may or may not be best spent on a Corsair PSU
Only reason I got a Corsair PSU is cuz it was the only decent PSU CompUSA had in stock on the shelf and an AsRock board fried my PSU I had.

I didn't see you didn't want to CF/SLI, but that post I made was just as an fyi. For one GPU 550W is plenty of power.

Thanks for your suggestions! Sounds like you personally had issues with an ASRock motherboard - which chipset? From several reviews (both editorial and user reviews here on OC), ASRock motherboards come highly recommended. And your last point - what do you mean? Are you dogging on Corsair PSU's? Why?

Yeah, I decided on the 650W to give me some CPU OC'ing room - do you think 550W would be enough in that scenario?
