Good luck with the PSU. I know wayyy too many people who have had tons of problems with the X3's and X4's.
 
Ultra PSU's are awesome. Haven t had any problems yet, really quiet and supports tri SLI and crossfire.

Ultra PSU's look great in specs, pictures, and are quiet, but in reality they are terrible. Voltage regulation and ripple suppression barely maintain ATX specifications, and often cannot really output anything close to what's advertised on the 12V rails.

I know 4 people who have X3 1000W's that could not run SLi 280's, and the maximum power draw that the system would draw with the hardware installed was less then 750 watts.
 
I hate Ultra, with a passion. The power ripples, efficiency is horrible and they don't exactly have long lasting life spans.
I mean, the fact that they are owned by Tigerdirect is a big red light alone. I don't hate Tiger, but my rule is if a manufacture is owned by a retail company. Stay away.
