antec 1000watt is what i have coming for 9800GX2 and new setup. since you will be running more then me (prolly) i'd go with a 1,200watt psu OCZ or sliverstone ive seen good reviews on

PC Power & Cooling anything

Nice Jagoo.

Well I have close to what you have, minus some RAM, and I can backup the PC Power and Cooling route.

Mine, 610 on the cheap, SLI, solid 12v rail:

More heat, 750:

Price is no object, add anything you want, and power your fridge:

this one i've got, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817814014 , is running fine and should be plenty of power for what you are running. it's modular and has 4 way sli support. comes with 6 molex and 12 sata and 4 pci-e plugs. It also has led lights and a 135mm side fan, so it looks good too. (see my bio)

Believe it or not. Best Buy sucks, and
they do for one thing have a decent PSU in their back pocket. BFG 800 Watt, and it will only run you a few hundred. Its what I got running dual 7800's, FX-55 and three HDD"s plus two DVD drives, It was LLiquid cooled for a bit but back to fans just because I didn't wanna deal with changing out the damn tubes again.

might be worth a look considering it got a baddass rating. if I remember correct.
