Will let you know my findings tonight.
Russkly, I think that the important thing is the 580 nvidia processor... Don't bother about the brand as soon as you don't o/c.
If I were you I'd go for a 1000+ W PSU to have some room for future upgrades...

Thx for the advice, Retaliator, and let me know if it solves the reboot problem for you. Furmark causes the same problem, so it's 100% a PSU issue.
Be aware that 40A on each 12V rail doesn't necessarily mean you have 80A available - see this thread on another forum:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r220...0A-on-12V-Rail
Still, you have plenty of amperage.
As you recommend, I'd like to go for more than 700W (the one I listed below is 700W, not 800W as I thought), but it's a question of what's on offer now. This one's got 62A on the 12V rail, so it's beefy, and I can't see myself going for SLI - RoF doesn't need it (at least not yet) and CloD doesn't deserve it (again, not yet!!!).
As for the GPU, I might hold fire until I see how CloD shapes up in terms of performance and playability for off-line users. At the moment spending €400 just for CloD does not seem worth it, and my other games (RoF, Arma 2, Combat Mission series, etc.) all run well with my current GPU.
If I do though, don't worry, I'll happily go with the cheapest manufacturer, especially since they're currently almost €100 cheaper than the others!
Cheers and good luck.
