Not sure how much power i'll need

[Koudelka]

I was hoping to get an idea of what kind of wattage i'd need for my system i'm building soon.

Will be putting in:
i7 nehalem 2.66
GTX 295 ( will possibly add another towards the end of the year )
WD Raptor 300GB
2 DVD drives
Rampage II mobo
6GB ddr3 corsair

Looking to find an efficient, reliable PSU with wattage to spare for future upgrades of SLI or more HD's.

Thanks in advance!

750-850. Personally I'd pick up a Corsair 850TX

Silverstone Decathalon, Olympia, Zeus or Strider
Corsair
Antec True Power Quattro, Signature
BFG ES800
Coolermaster Real Power Pro
PC Power and Cooling
Seasonic
Enermax Revolution
OCZ EliteXstream
Thermaltake Toughpower

all of them make goo 700+ watt PSUs

i say 700W-800W range to be safe. but a 650W of good brand could probably still run it. However for an expensive rig like that I personally get a 1k just to be sure and not cause any accidents that would burn anything out.

I would say at least 800-850.

Core i7 920 @ 3.6GHz
2x GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked 55nm
Asus P6T Deluxe
6GB Corsair DDR3-1600 @ 1440
2x 500GB Seagate HDDs
6x fans and 1 18W watercooling pump.

that draws 710W @ full load.

710 from the wall I assume? Figuring 80% efficiency, that's only 568 DC watts, so a 650 should be fine. 750 would still be better though
