Win7 64BIT is good. Just make sure your 3D rendering software are compatible. By the way which PSU you have of the CM series..?

You PF should be always set to 1.5xphysical memory. Does not matter how much the OS uses. Win7 is more optimized, so you should get better performance.

It cannot deliver constant / spike free power, specially if power hungry GPUs are being utilized, like in this case a HD4870.

Asigh is right, CM PSUs have a knack for going down at heavy loads. Go for Corsair etc.
