have FINALLY decided on my final build and am wondering if the power supply is overkill or just right, plus any other thoughts from the experts here :)

i7 920 BOX
ASUS P6T deluxe v2
xfx gtx 260 core216 55nm w/farcry2 & mirrors edge
corsair 3x2gb XMS3 Twin3X DDR3 PC10600/1333MHz
corsair 750W
cooler master 690

already have 4 HDD's and a super old burner that i never use
in a year i will update my video card with some form of the new top end Nvidia GT300 variant.

and i will also add more better quality DDR3 RAM at the end of summer when win7 64bit is released :)

i also plan on overclocking the i7 920 and the gtx 260 :)

all of the above will be running on my very reliable winXP PRO SP3.
will i be able to use direct X10 on winXP?
will i be able to run the newer games on winXP? or do i need VISTA to run these games that need direct X10?

thanks in advance for any advice or help!!
 
Might i suggest you look at the Corsair HX620 as well(for the PSU)?
Also, look at the Gigabyte X58 motherboards...
Aside from that, good choices :)
 
THANKS!!

thats cool, not too miffed aboot no dx10 as win7 64 bit is just around the corner and i'll upgrade then

do you think i can take my current HDD with winXP and stick it into the new build above and 'most' things will work fine?

i'd really hate to have to do a total re-install of the OS and the 500 programs and so on i have on my PC
