need a decent future proof psu preferably to run sli 280's, 8800gt for physx, xfi, 5 hd's, quad @ 3.6 then maybe watercooling.

Also would like a energy effecient one.

Unfortunately there's no such thing as future proof in this game!

I'd start at about the 600W decent PSUs and work upwards based on whether you want modular etc.

Of course, if you wan't as much power as possible, look at the 1KW supplies, but I think these would be overkill for what you state up there, there's few machines that genuinely require that much power.

I have a OCZ stealthXtreme 600w at the moment but dont know if its going to cut it with all of the about but with one GTX280 and the 8800GT....

What you guys think ?

might just wait for the Enermax Revolution as that looks awesome.
