I opened the Corsair HX620W PSU box (couldn't wait any longer) and it did have the 6+2 PCI-E connectors! So everything's perfect so far. Now I just hope the online shipment arrives.

Another update: I nearly bought everything (but the monitor) today. But the local shop had run out of the GA-P35-DS3L mobos, and I can't find it anywhere else in Toronto. So it looks like I'll be ordering it from Directcanada.com, along with the cooler+thermal grease. I did buy the Corsair...

I've done some more research and looking around, and this is what I came up with. PSU: Corsair HX620 - most likely with the newer 8-pin PCI-e connectors I think the local shop has the new ones with the 8-pin connectors. Even if not, I'll just have to get them from Corsair so I won't be...

Update Oct. 13: I've updated my current choices a bit based on the feedback I've received in the last 2 days - thanks a lot guys! Also, about OCing: I do want to have at least 3.0 GHz, even on the Q6600, but I doubt I'll go crazy with like 3.8+ GHz overclocks. Update Oct. 14 (1st): I've done...
