Hi all

I have a rig with a 2180 @ 3gig, 4gig RAM, MSI Neo2-FR, GF8800GT, 3 hard disks, 2 dvds. fans etc and sound card.

It's powered by a Tagen 480w PSU and runs fine. I'm just about to upgrade to a Q6600 and plan on overclocking to 3.4gig+

Will I now need to upgrade the PSU to something more beefy? I have no plans on running SLI so if I do need to upgrade what is a sensible step to move up too?
