I play lots of simulations so I disagree with your assessment because
lots of games I play are cpu ungry and not just gpu hungry. I don't buy
dual video cards anyway because next year there will be a new video card
that will equal or surpass the dual video cards.

The Noctua HSF at $79.99 is the usual price at both newgg.ca and
ncix.com but the Seasonic S12 850w PSU is a very good price and is still
on sale at that price now. Seasonic PSUs are about as good as they get too.

I usually buy Thermalright CPU Coolers and add my own Fan.
I am in no rush to purchase..just going the research now
