Ok

What is a good free benchmark program?

BTW - I ordered a Triple channel memory kit and I am going to return this ram when it gets here. It is DDR3 but was not sold as a TCMK. Here is what I ordered..

OCZ OCZ3B2000C9LV6GK DDR3 PC3-16000 Blade Series CL9 Edition Low Voltage Triple Channel Memory Kit.

Sorry for the Lack Of Links(LOL)

If you are not going to overclock I would defintely go for memory spec'ced to run low latency at the rated speed. CL8 memory at PC3-1600 is not to hard to find.

The low voltage stuff might save a bit of power but I think it is mainly there to give i7 systems a bit more headroom to overclock given the voltage limitations.

Speaking of Power...

...I upgraded my power supply in this rebuild. I got the Corsair CMPSU-950TX Power Supply, WOW that thing is NICE!!! Lots of leads! Its is a good thing that my case(
Cooler Master - RC-830-SSN3-GP - Silver) has enough room to "store" the extra ones.

78 AMPS on the 12 volt rail!!

Well, with that PSU you should have enough room left for a second graphics card plus OCing the entire rig. Okay, I think with that hardware OC isn't really necessary

Anyways, you got a quite nice bunch of hardware.

Edit: Although I wouldn't go for a SLI graphics setup anyways due to the extremely high power consumption and the little "synchronization problems" between the two GPUs / cards that seems to appear in some cases.
