power supply for gaming computer

[wolfskin13]

I'm planning on putting together a computer, and I want to make sure
I'm doing this right -- what output level power supply do I need? The
components will most likely be ...


motherboard: EVGA nForce 680i SLI 775 A1
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB PCIe
RAM: 2 x Mushkin XP 2-8500 1G
HD: 2 x WD Caviar SE16 500G
sound card: SoundBlaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer
optical drive: (unsure, but something DVD+/-R)


If you have any critiques on this setup, that would be neat, too, but
I'm mainly concerned with making sure I've got the right power supply.


Thanks a lot!

I have a similar system and chose an Antec 650 Watt Trio (and the shop that
built it supported my decision wholeheartedly.) It has worked excellently
for months.

agree with DaveW, Trio650 should work a charm on it.
