another important thing is the +12v rail, its best to get a psu with all the amps on only one +12v rail, but of course its not gunna kill you to have multiple +12v rails....

I think I'll get a simple 500W, I play too much PC already, I MUST have a limit to stop making my PC run (crappily) new games...

Thanks yall.

BTW WhatMan you probably ain't getting all the performance you can...

You only need 750w if its a piece of crap or your gonna do SLI with cards like the GTX2xx/4xx or HD 58xx

a quality 550w (quality is brands like, OCZ, Antec, Cosair) even the Cosair 400w +12 with 30A would power pretty much all single card systems (exceptions are power munching cards like a GTX 480)
