I got plenty of all that for sure.  My P/S is much to large.  The CPU cooler is plain huge for the CPU I got.  I don't know what the memory could do but I just run it at stock speeds.

When I build a rig, I try to buiild it like a tank.  The military type tank. I try to build to last at least 7 or 8 years maybe 9.  I'm sort of disappointed if this mobo is going out already.  It's way to early for my liking.  I think it is only like 3 years old.  My old Abit was about 8 years old and it was working fine, just slowly.  ;-)
