Will this PSU Be Enough?
Ok, so I am thinking of rebuilding part of my existing rig and taking the removed parts and rebuilding an older rig for my kids. What I need help on from you guys is to know if the PSU's on these machines will work or not. So here is my main rig situation:

Current:

MB: DFI NF4 SLI-DR BIOS 4-6-2006
CPU: AMD 64 x2 4400+ (thermalright xp90 cooler, arctic silver compound)
MEM😱CZ Plat EB OCZ5002048EBPE-K DDR500 2x1GB
VID: Asus Nvidia 7800GTX
HD: (2) SATA II Hitachi 180GB
PSU: OCZ GamerXtreme 600w
SOUND: Audigy 2 ZS Gamer
CASE: Antec P180 (4x120mm panaflo fans, 2xmb fans, 90mm vid card blower, dust filters, etc)

Here is what I was thinking of changing:

MB: M2N32-SLI Deluxe/Wireless Edition
CPU: AMD 64 FX FX-62 Windsor
RAM: 8GB of something
VID: (2)Nvidia 8800GT or GTS (may settle on 1, but not sure)

Now you may ask why would I go with the FX and the answer is that I know a guy selling the board and cpu for $80. It is used, but well under warranty. I thought the price for a nice upgrade was good. So I need to know if my PSU will work fine with this setup. What do you think? Would you do this upgrade or not do it? I started thinking of it because I have a new LCS coming and my 7800GTX will not give enough frame rates on the new resolution. SO I began thinking of upgrades. So what do you think?


Now, for my second rig, do you think a Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480w will run the DFI board, AMD x2 4400, 2GB of RAM, and 7800GTX on my kids rig? It will not be pushed hard at all and I will remove all OC's. Will the 480w work fine for it?

Thanks in advance!

Additional Comment:

Also, on that Asus board, will 4 sticks of OCZ Reaper, nice cpu cooler, and 2 video cards fit on the board? The heatsink on the reaper concerns me and I cannot lay hands on it right now.
 
Thanks. What about the 450w running my current stuff? If I transfer that stuff over to an old box with the 450w TT, will it be enough?
 
Yeh. I am talking about the latter part of my post. I am thinking of taking out my current board, memory, and video and putting in another box that has the 45-0w TT PSU.

This all seems to be snowballing, but it just started because I got an opportunity to buy the FX62 and the Asus board for $80.
