I'll look into the GTX 260 in SLI, although if I do happen to get 2 of them, I don't think that 750w will power my rig. (Will be doing some big overclocking also)
How is the P6T when it comes to overclocking options? I picked DFI because out of all the brands of motherboards I have experienced, (ASUS, EVGA, XFX and Foxconn) DFI boards have the most overclocking options I have ever seen.
Oh and for the sound card, it's for my games/music. My x-fi xtremegamer is breaking down so I'm looking at buying a new one. A nice sound card makes a big difference when playing games and listening to music.
When I looked at PSU's the 750w was the same price as the 850w, I guess the 750w went on sale

Yeah it 100$ cheaper it sess (750watt).
Corsair 750watt will be more then enought even tho your overclocking.
2x GTX 260 have been tested at a 550watt corsair so that should give much
space to overclock.
The motherboard you linked have had much problems so I wouldn't recommend it.
Might wanna get rampage II:

DFI is sort of a hit and miss, sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you get a bad one.
My current PC has a DFI board, although I had to RMA it twice to get a working board. I sort of want a DFI board because the ocing options but if it comes DOA, I'll order an ASUS mb.
For the PSU, I don't think the 750w will run the sli config considering I have 2-3 HDD's 2 DVD drives, floppy and an i7.
2 260s require 41 - 45a on the 12v rail if i'm not mistaken.
260s in sli can work on a 550w corsair I believe but they used a lower wattage cpu, not as many hdds/floppys and they didn't overclock on the test I believe.
