For this you can use FSP Saga II 500W @ 2.6k. But couldn't you buy core i5 or Phenom X6? why Q8300?

8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)

A:
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
