i'd say a good 500w at least, but buying a PSU isn't that simple...you have a beastly rig, so i suggest getting a high end OCZ or Enermax psu, or mabye an Ultra X-Connect. if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg, the Fortron 530w is a great option also.

Pricey but the best in my opinion> PCPower&Cooling > then come OCZ > Antec > Fortron

Don't bump your thread after just 7 minutes. Give it a couple hours, at least.

If you plan to just go 6600GT SLI you probably don't need a big 500W. Try an Enermax, Seasonic, or PCP&C Silencer (their lower-end units) in the 400-460W range. Just make sure the rails (especially the +12V) have all the amperage you need--looking at these is a lot more important than the oft-misrepresented wattage values.
