CoolerMaster RealPower 1000w

The road to the 1000 watt power supply was a long one. Through the years of increasing performance, hardware, and accessories, power supplies have stayed one step ahead of the demand. With the current trend of today’s technology, 1000 watts may hold up for awhile. CPU dies are shrinking but are growing in number of cores. Even current graphic cards can range from 1 to 5 cores (5 cores being, 2 7950 GX2’s and a PhysX CARD).

"The Gigabyte X48-DQ6 is a great performing motherboard and the X48
chipset again proves that Intel knows how to design a product for their
CPUs. The motherboard implements the DDR2 memory controller rather than the
DDR3 one that the X48 offers and while that may limit the memory performance
in its most basic functions, the benefits of being able to get much more
memory (4GB vs 2GB) at faster speeds for less money should make up for it."
