A not-so-budget build (Intel & ATi)

Alright, here's my build. Anything to improve? (Like, get this for better price, etc.)

ASUS Rampage Formula X48 w/ Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Western Digital 400GB 7,200RPM 16MB
Kingston PC2 8500 HyperX 2GB X2 (4GB)
PowerColour 4870X2 2GB
CMaster RealPower Pro 1250W + 12CM Fan
Asus Silent Square EVO (I'm not very sure which cooler should I go with, so I chose a random one which was at average pricing.)
Antec 900 Case


Yeah.

So guys, here's what are my questions.

Is the 1250w able to power 2 4870X2's? I'll be upgrading in the future, I do not want to upgrade the PSU again. Is there a 8-pin connector too?

Is the cooler good? I want to be able to overclock my Q6600 to 3GHz, and don't tell me to buy E8400/E8500, I need 4 cores.

Should I get Seagate's 500GB 7,200RPM 32MB or Western Digital's 400GB 7,200RPM 16MB?

Yeah, so please, comment guys (:

Get 500GB seagate. The PSU is good and the cpu will be cool enough. If you want go for Q6700.

Q6700? I wouldn't go for that, lol. Don't have the money. I'd go for Q9550 if I could.

1. Yes it will be more than enough for 2 4870X2's. No idea about the PCI-e connector but it should have 2.
2. i recommend a Zalman CPU cooler
3. 500GB Seagate.

Okay guys, thanks alot. I'd get a Zalman CPU Cooler.

You say similar, but what is ur video card?? If that then i think 1000watts. No less.
Personally i don't like Antec cases, they just don't look right for me. Don't ask why. I like ThermalTake. Also i don't like lots of drive bays going all the way down the case, just my style of computers. But there are good cases (Antec) There have very good case cooling.

if ur using it for gaming , try getting a http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/03...ital_raptor_x/
