Would this beast be able to handle the heavy load?

The PSU of interest.
Would it, with some headroom left for future upgrade to handle the following load?

e6600@3.4ghz
150gb Raptor
1TB Raid0
Soundblaster xFI
2 Opt. DVD drives
eVGA 650i mobo
eVGA gtx-260
4gb Ballistic LED DDR2
HDTV tuner (pci) card

Get a Corsair 550vx or 650

How about this one (Corsair 750TX)?

Is it better than the one I was asking?

For all intents and purposes it is the same PSU that you were asking about, with a higher output rating, and some different capacitors. Both the Thermaltake and the Corsair are built by CWT on the PSH platform. Corsair rates their PSUs at 50C, which is higher than most other companies, but I am not sure what Thermaltake rates at.

The Thermaltake you linked is of course modular, while the Corsair isn't.

Just went ahead and took a bite on the Corsair 750TX @ buy.com for $89.99 (AR).
Let hope this should solve my ever power-hungry machine, for now, anyway.
Thanks for the inputs.

That machine will use about 400 watts peak. A 750 watt PS should give you plenty of power in case you eventually upgrade to a pair of GTX280s in SLI with some future 8 core CPU.
