5770 and 6850 power usage similar?
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2010/10/22/ati-radeon-hd-6850-review/9 from those stats it looks like that 5770 and 6850 temps are similar under idle and load. how come the 5770 is more recommended than the 6850 for people who game?

PSU Overkill?
I have a relatively low powered unit but locally in a small computer shop the only super deal is the x760. will that use more power than lets say a 400w power supply even though my rig probably won't be using half the available power?

What is the difference between seasonic x750 and ss-760KM
I am seeing two different types of what looks to be the same power supply but i'm not sure. one is 750 and one is 760.

Re: Best/largest CPU cooler for ASUS P8Z68-V i2500k P183
out of those two which one is better or is it a wash? also is it worth getting the larger ones? I plan to get a fanless 5770 so there will be decent amount of heat in case. i will have case fans but maybe getting a larger one is better for me but i will definitely keep those two in mind

The deal right now is i2500k unlocked for 180 so i guess i'll be buying one that is overclockable. Is z68 the only one that is overclockable?

Re: P183 or R3
Thanks for the comments. Only reason I ask is that the 183 is 100 bucks on newegg till tomorrow so debating whether or not R3 is worth extra 40$ or not. Thx for the comments.
