PSU Advice needed please

Hi All

Im trying to choose a power supply which will power the following spec

Q6600 (probably will overclock this)
2GB OCZ DDRII 6400
8800 GTX
4 x SCSI 36GB 10000RPM drives + PCI-X controller
P5NT-WS motherboard
Generic DVDRW

I was thinking around 700-800W for this, but id like some headroom for adding additional components etc.

I have a Spare Hiper 580W at the moment, which may or may not have the Wattage to run this - although it is not something that i am obviously going to risk for many reasons

Any advice appreciated

Thanks!

Corsair HX520, you don't need the 620w model.

I have a Spare Hiper 580W at the moment

Uh oh

Do you really think around 600W will cover everything?

Easily.

The Corsair 520W would do it, so 600W+ will easily do it.

In that case, i'd prefer something 700W or so, any recommendations? Price no real issue

Seasonic M12 Modular 700W
Enermax Infiniti 720W EIN720AWT

Either of those, both are modular and brilliant power supplies, and if I had to pick out of those I would pick the Seasonic.

you don`t need large wattage power supplies,as long as it`s a good 500w psu giving out real term wattage values,it will power the normal persons pc.anything over 700 watt is a pure waste.

I think im with flibby on the Seasonic to be honest.

Cheers
