    Jose - you are an awesome guy.  THANKS.
    I have a 800 watt corsair power supply for my Asus p5e3 motherboard and qx9770 cpu.  So I assume I can at least use that powersupply with an i-7 motherboard and cpu (Unless there is a special power supply for those.)
    Regards,

    Wow, that's a lot of power!

    But yeah, you'll be fine.  Your PSU has a 20 & 24 pin main power connector and a 4 - 8 power connector, which gives you a lot of versatility. 
     
    Furthermore, all the X58 chipset Gigabyte boards have 24 main pins and 8 power pins, so you're covered with power to spare.
