Lol, you should check out my thread for asking too much out of your PSU.
Yeah, that would run that setup fine.
Probably running HD2900Pro's in X-Fire too, oh why oh why did I not spend the extra...

Probably run 3 of them np!
My 720W says it can run 18 drives no problem. And thats including multiple graphics cards. The Corsair is only 70W less!
The HX620W is certified by ATI to run 3xxx series cards in Crossfire. Here's the certification page:

Yes but the HX520W should still be able to manage more than the 580W Hiper since it has quite a bit more on the rails than the hiper.

I was thinking of going crossfire with 3870s and a 580 type r but with all the bad stories i will most likely be upgrading the psu first.
Jumping on the thread so i'll keep it short; putting together a q6600/8800GT/1 raptor 1 750gb/IP35 pro/Auzen Prelude/6400 crucial' ram.
I was gonna get the 520Corsair HX but then I thought I might get one of the higher end nvidia 9800 series next year, would it be wiser to spend the extra £30 for the 620W or should I be safe either way with 520, cheers !

I think its likely a 9800 series will run off a HX520W especially if they try and make it efficient on that 55nm process.
