How many Watts do I need for this setup?
Intel E6550 possibly going to overclock
4GB(2x2GB) PC6400
2x DVD-RW
2x Hard drive
2x Geforce 8800GT
 
I think you should be fine with 600w. Probably even 550w.


Suggest the Corsair 620HX or PC Power & Cooling 610w Silencer.
 
You would probably be fine with a quality 400W PSU. You should probably get something 550W+ or so (620HX is a great choice) for headroom and peace of mind.
 
Need? I imagine you could get by with a 400w. Me, I like plenty of power, just in case. The fact that you are using 2x8800GTs (what's that, atleast $600) leans me toward using a higher powered PSU. If I'm using a PSU to power more expensive stuff, I want there to be lee-way <sp>.
 
The Corsair 620HX will provide ample headroom and as well as being great quality, is also modular which is quite handy.
