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.

HTH

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.)

Motherboard: Gigabyte with TI chipset FW controllers and lots of PCIe slots and SATA connectors (no IDE). RAM: At least 16GB (preferably 24GB) of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM.
