Hi guys.

I've just recently bought a new computer. Ive bought everything but a power supply because im truely dont know what size i would need for the following specs;

Asus Striker II Extreme nForce 790i Ultra SLi (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard,

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB),

OCZ 4GB DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Platinum (2x2GB) Dual Channel DDR3 (OCZ3P13334GK),

EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ "Superclocked" 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) x 2 (SLi),

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (WD1001FALS),

Also a CDRW/ROM DVDRW/ROM and Vista to be installed also. I wil prob look at a little OC'ing but im not a big know it all on that either. I think the pc is good enough alone as i will mostly play CSS and Dawn of war 2.

If you guys could help that would be GREAT

Whats your budget?

Im going to reccomend the Antec Quattro True power 850W, just because its amazing and will more than power all you need

But its very pricey
 
I know im spending to run it all. But a budget price is an ermmm?! Id want to spend about £100 easy..

Any suggestions?
 
850!? That's way too much.

This will be more than you'll need;

Also, BeQuiet!, Zalman, Seasonic and Corsair are good brands to choose from.
 
Ive been told many different size'z now :S Ive thought about a 700W Coolmaster That ok?

Yes. Tbh, a good 500W PSU would run that system. I would personally go with around 600W, but if you want to go with 700W then that's fine as well.
 
any 550W+ from a decent make should be fine, but definately buy a modular, there so much easier to install and are really helpful when it comes to cable management.
 
Would a

OCZ GameXStream 700w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Power Supply

Be suitable for hte following above? Im still looking into a power supply and im also doing SLi?! Would this be a good PS to have?

Any ideas guys :)
