Need new psu for Q6600 build

I'm planning to build a Q6600 machine after july 22 price cuts. I have a 7600gt but plan to upgrade when 2nd gen dx10 cards come out. My old PS isn't going to cut it. I'm not running sli but plan to oc. I also don't want to break the bank since I went for the Q6600 instead of an am2 system and I'm already over budget. I plan to install a Penryn in 18 mos or so when the prices come down. Suggestions?
 
Enermax Liberty 500W, or Corsair 520W.

Unless you plan on going with a Radeon high-end card rather than an Nvidia. 😀
 
I would love to support amd but I can't justify buying a 2900 xt over an 8800 gts. Of course, the 2nd generation dx10 cards might be a different story...
edit: bought the 520 w corsair. You're the 3rd person to recommend that card.
 
Wow. That corsair seems to be a seriously boss PSU if it can handle an 8800gts, an overclocked C2Q, and a handful of hard drives etc with ease. I assume the 620W would only really be necessary for SLI boxes?

I'll let you know when I build my system if it works. Everyone who has recommended it says that it will handle it., however, so I will have a lot of whacking to do if it doesn't...
