I'm running an X2-4400 / A8N32-SLI M/B / single 8800GTX /
4 HDDs / 3GBy memory on an Antec 650W TruePower I got
on sale for like $65, which is overkill for what I'm doing.
That being said, before I installed the Antec 650 I had
the X2, the HDDs, the 8800GTX, 3GB RAM *and* a
7800GT all running on an Antec TP-II 450W PSU
temporarily and that worked OK too.
So moral of the story, I'd get something in the range
of a reputable 450 / 500 / 520 / 650, the main
factor not being the wattage since anything over 400
will probably work fine, but the main factor being to get
a reputable brand / model and a good deal on it on sale,
like something for $50-$60, and that'll be fine.
Decent Antec TP-II or Earthwatts 500 or something like
that; they seem to go on sale frequently. Actually
I pretty often see Antec Sonata II cases on sale for $50
after rebate and they include a Antec TP-II 450 as far as
I recall.. so that's a pretty good deal IMHO.
