    If you ever plan on going SLI you'll need the extreme4, and in that case its recommended you use a 700w psu minimum. Otherwise you could get the pro4 and a cheaper psu (the superflower amazon 550w is regularly recommended here).

    Also, kind of a personal opinion but I'd go with a WD caviar blue hard drive over a seagate as they seem to be a little more reliable and have a longer warranty (2 years as opposed to 1).

    Yes the main reason I was looking at the extreme was for the SLI and I was going to go with 750w but decided against it just until I got confirmation.

    A good 650w psu is plenty for gtx 670 in SLI. You won't need 800w.

    When I had a single one my system never used more than 200w gaming, and never more than 550w with gtx 570 in sli which uses more power than the 670's.

    That psu only comes with 2 pci-e cables so can't have SLI which is a bit silly considering the older hx650 which is 80 plus bronze comes with 4.

    Nope that only comes with 2 also judging from the spec's on corsairs website

    Looks like the only 650 modular on hwvs that comes with 4 are the seasonic x and bequiet ones.
