Well I 'd like to use my actual Antec Smartpower 2.0 500 watts for my next rig ( Intel Allendale E6400 o/c @3 Ghz ,2 x 1 giga ram , XFX 7900 GT@660/1660 , HDD sata hitachi desktar and maybe a wester digital raptor later ,creative soudblaster live 5.1 with its rack )

I do not plan now to get crossfire nor 7950 GX2 .

Do you think my PSU will have enough power to run ? ( I think so but not sure :)

note I ran SLI with 2 x 7900 GT with that antec ( 3800 x 2@2.5 ghz )

thanx for your advices :)

I agree, the power Requirements for core duo are pretty low, plus you don't want to use SLi or crossfire, so you should be alright.
