    I've got 2x4GB kit and will go for another 2x4GB kit so theoretically they should be OK (original kit in 1 and 3 and additional kit in 2 and 4).

    Theoretically yes but due to the amount of time between purchases they will be a different version number even though they're the same model number. The chips on the ram or anything can be different. It may not be the case but something to be aware of as it's a common thing.

    So, it turns out my current PSU doesn't have enough plugs to run two GTX660Ti's. What a fail...



    So, in the meantime... Here's what the cards look like (er... please excuse the CPU cooler dust, that will definitely be cleaned up soon):



    ...and here's what it actually looks like now:



    Any recommendations for a PSU that will handle my current rig with two 660Ti's? As I understand it, 650w is enough power, but I need 2x 6-pin and 2x 8-pin GPU connectors for the setup I want. Modular would be nice (since I now have the option), but it's not essential. Any suggestions?

    For the record, a single 660Ti seems to handle all my current games without any issue at all, even with all the detail settings maxed out.. But I have two, so if not, why not... (:

    Wow... That's not a bad choice, thanks Steve. :) After reading through Jonny Guru's review and seeing how it handles a serious load, I'm actually starting to reconsider the PSU choice for my next build too...

    Considering SeaSonic's manufacturing history during their OEM stint, they most definitely have the required experience behind them. The X650 is fully modular too, which is a really nice bonus... I'll have to dig around locally to see if I can source one and what they go for.

    Must admit, I am somewhat disappointed in myself for not checking up on my current PSU first, but I honestly thought it already had 2x 6-pin and 2x 8-pin connectors.

    You can't beat yourself up too bad about that because sometimes you can't check. I'll tell you about my experience which you may want to check for your RIVE Black board. My board takes an 8 Pin and a 4 pin 12V EPS connection, which I'm sure yours will too. I was also thinking(and still am) about getting another 780 Classy. I bought a Corsair AX850 and checked the cables. It came with 4 pcie 6+2 cables and 2 8 pin (4+4) 12V EPS cables. Just what I needed so I bought it. What they didn't tell you was that you cannot connect all the cables at the same time. You can have the 2 EPS connections and 2 pcie or 1 8 pin EPS and 4 PCIE connected, but not both 12V 8 pin and 4 pcie at the same time. I really had a fight with Corsair over that one. So, there are some things you can't check, and I'm sure you will need all those cables in your 'Dream' build. So, Check extra on that one.

    Hmmm... Very good point, I've never used a modular PSU before, so I wouldn't have thought of that. Will definitely do some more research before I get anything then. Thanks for the advice.

    I'd get a whole new matched set of RAM. Even same model numbers bought at different time can cause RAM problems. Stick with the same brand, frequency, Timings, and CAS at least.
