I'm in the upgrade stage currently and trying to getting some parts together.

I have the Antec 850 trupower quatro which is supplying power to:

HAF 932 with stock fans
Asus maximus extreme mobo
Q6600 Go OC to 3.6Ghz
BFG 8800 GT
Xfi xtreme gamer sound card
2 x WD raptors 150gb in raid 0
1 x Seagate 1TB
Samsung super writemaster DVD burner
2 x 1GB Corsair Dominator CM3X1024-1800C7D



What im planning on upgrading to:

EVGA X58 classified E760-A1
Core i7 920 with overclocking to 3.3Ghz
1x Nvidia 295 or Radeon 5970 (not sure, plan on SLI or Crossfire also)
Corsair Dominator GT 3x 2GB
2x WD velociraptor raid 0

maybe some lighting inside the case.

My thoughts are i don't have enough power for this. If not i was thinking about one of these:

__Ultra X4 1200W Modular SLi Power Supply__

__Enermax Revolutions + 1050 Watt__

Ive seen a lot of good reviews on the Enermax, is it enough?
 
Your PSU will be fine for a single 295 or 5970, but you would want to upgrade if you added a second one. I'd recommend the Enermax, very good PSU.
 
Ok well how does the PC Power and cooling 1200watt ESA version stand up? I know its a bit more power than i need but thinking about future proof sounds interesting😉

Extremely expensive, loud, not very efficient.
It is built like a tank...but no way it is worth $600 for an every day PC user.

If you want a more efficient PSU that is cheaper and built like a tank...I would go for the Silverstone Zeus 1200W...or Silverstone Strider 1500W

You also may want to wait for some reviews of the new Antec Truepower Quattro 1200W.
