A single HD 2900XT will NOT need a 750/800w PSU, even after capacitor aging. I would be surprised if it needed any more than a quality 550w, seeing that you can run a single 8800GTX system off a 400w PSU and a pair off a 620w Corsair, NOT that I'm recommending doing either. My choice? 600w for the single and 800 for CF.
Totally agree. If max power consumption can be even 300W for the card. Well other hardware in the case will be under 300W total unless you have a highly OC'ed quad then sure needing a bigger PSU might do you good. CF will need a bigger one but surely a 850W will do you more then good on dual core systems, quad core a 1k PSU would be your ideal solution.
