Actually, stuff really doesn't take as much power as you'd think.

Unless you overclock your quadcore CPU heaps, and have 2 massive GPUs in crossfire or something, a general system shouldn't be able to take more than 600W.

Zinga's system with an overclocked Q6600 and a normal GPU runs comfortably on his 430W PSU.

Here's a power supply calculator if anyone wants. here.
