    PSU:
    ULT-LSP650 :: Ultra LSP650 650-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, SLI-Ready, 135mm Fan, Lifetime Warranty (4.9 lbs)
    $59.98     <-- POS, *NEVER* go cheap on a PSU, *NEVER*, get the Antec. If you will go SLI, get the Antec Signature 850W (that will really pop your cork on price LOL.

    I want longevity from my system. I believe that the new i5 core and the Socket 1156 mobo is the way to the future and this will give me the ability to scale and upgrade when the time comes. Am I wrong in this thinking?
    Will it make more sense for me to stay Socket 775 and save more money?

    IMHO the i5 S1155 is Intel's way to try to get some of the low-end cpu market away from AMD, not sure of its longivity. Just my opinion.
