Ok, after further investigation, I now share your suspicion of the 750i's 16x16 capability. The phrase 'Hardware ready for x16, x16' keeps on rearing it's head which to me suggests techno-babble aimed at confusing the customer.
As for the PSU, again after further investigation I've found conflicting views on whether 600W will be enough. MicroDirect are currently working on a quote for me and if they aren't willing to bump me up to the 700W version free of charge then I'm gonna have to go back to the drawing board.
This whole SLI thing is starting to irritate so unless I find some irrefutable evidence that the 750i does what it hints that it does I'm just gonna settle for the GA-P35-DS3L.
In regards to the price, I don't mind paying a little over my origional budget for a setup that will last me a good while. The CPU seems to be pretty damn good in terms of price/performance ratio and I need a goodish size monitor because I intend to do a lot of design work on it. Think of my budget as 750 pounds absolute maximum to clear up any confusion of what I'm willing to spend.
This pc building malarky isn't as easy as I thought it would be, I hope the building of the damn thing doesn't follow this trend!
Also, I'm curious, what do you do that requires you to own 11 320GB HDDs?
