Well I got 4gb and 8800GT coming sometime or another. Getting a Quad in the next couple weeks or so. Right now I have a Enermax 485w dual rail with 18amps on each. Its been a good one for the past 3 years and has seen several upgrades. But not sure if it will be enough now.

If not whats the best $100 or lower PSU money can buy nowadays.
 
3 years huh, do realize it's components will have degraded, maximum capacity will be lower then 485w. The 12v rails are sufficient though, and it will work, but keep a close eye on it, you're about to throw in a 100w videocard and a cpu with a potential of 125w.

So would it be wise to just buy a new one? If so whats the best bang for your buck PSU for $80-$100? I do o/c(not video cards though).
 
Earthwatts 500 is a good value. Often $30 AR from Frys.com. Watch hot deals forum. I would not worry about upgrading the PSU at this time. That Enermax unit should still have a few more years of service left.
