Motherboard OK for SSD + PSU + cooling?

My proposed spec is below.

I read somewhere (perhaps on here) that I should get a special motherboard for the SSD - can anyone comment on this.

Will 750W power be enough - some other sites wanted 850W for this spec but strangely PCS wanted me to DOWNGRADE to 650W?

Also will the triple-pipe cooler be enough if I overclock the 2500K?

Any other comments on my spec much appreciated.

the mobo will work with ssd. If you want to do caching and make ur other hard drives faster then you need the ASUS® P8Z68-V PRO. If you are overclocking then a liquid cooler will be best. If PCS is fine with 750w then its ok but its better to get the 850w so you can crossfire in the future.

Now ordered! Decided to change SSD to Intel at last minute due to some negative comments about the OCZ 2 (on here and elsewhere). Can't wait for it to arrive!

Anyone got any ideas for a decent (but cheap ~ £200) 24" monitor?
Can't afford a better one - blown the budget already!

Hey guys and girls,

Just so you know, the 19-pin Internal USB 3.0 headers are now available on Cooler Master's European Website (www.coolermaster.nl). I contacted CM Support ([email protected]) and requested my long overdue cable.
All they asked for was the serial number on my HAF X and my address. I responded promptly and my Internal USB 3.0 Header cable is on its way! :) :)

So everyone with a P67 board (P8P67 Pro, Deluxe, ROG etc), contact Cooler Master support and request your free cable today! B-)

Cheers
