What power do i need?

Hi guys,
Im just wondering what size psu i need?
I curently have a 1050w psu but it was very cheap, and my rig wasn't so cheap.
Im going to be adding more stuff to it in the future and im just worried about the cheap psu blowing everything to death, so i wana find out what size i need and then i will get a decent one soon.

My set up is as follows:
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 810 2.6GHz
OCZ Reaper 6GB DDR3 PC3-14400 (1800MHz)
Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P mobo
Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme CPU Cooler
ati 4890 1gb.
3x 200mm fans, 1x 140mm fan.
Dvd drive and 3 HDDs, 1tb and 120Gb x2

Adding a tv card soon.
I plan on adding a 2nd 4890 at some point.
I also plan on adding a coolermaster aqua gate max liquid cooler at som point (its 600w)
I will also want a fan controler and a blueray drive.

Then you've got the keyboard and mouse usb.

SO, what size psu do you think i will need? Ive been told my current one of 1050w is over kill for what i have atm, but with what i plan on adding will a decent 1050w be a good size?

THanks.

A quality brand like Corsair, PcPower & cooling and BeQuiet with 620w onward will be enough.

Corsair 520W will work well here.

Realy? For all that stuff including all the extras i plan on adding :-s
Thats great news Miles cheaper than i was expecting. Might upgrade sooner then
Im running 2 24" mons, this wont affect it will it?
Also, for got to mention i have a creative audigy 2 sound card with external input box.

Monitors will run off there own power & with all your other bits and pieces the above psu's will be fine.
