Yes, I do plan to overclock both the CPU and the Video card.

You'll definitely need more power than even the newer TP 380 can supply, even if running both the FX-55 & the 7900GTO at stock speeds. You'll need even more for overclocking both.

Check Howard's

Need help picking a PSU.

You can find a recommended 500W PSU or better.

Here are the specs.

I used that PSU calculator w/ OC'd FX55(@ 3ghz, 1.5v estimated) and OC'd GTX. At max load it said I would need 356watts but I don't know if I had all the settings right.

*edit* Well I did the little claculation thingy and found out I'd need 27a on the +12 rail and mine maxes out at 24a.
