Globalkiwi,
I should just add that a good quality power supply is also money well spent. It\'ll have a range of good quality connectors, work with various graphics card configurations and provide a more stable system than a cheap option. In a modern rig it\'s wise to start no lower than a 450W PSU for a basic system and add to that output if you\'re running the latest graphics cards (most notably if >1 card), lots of HDDs or overclocking your processor.
Is a 750W PSU sufficient for a single graphics card but several HDD\'s & an overclocked CPU?
globalkiwi,
There is a website where you can enter your key components and it will tell you the minimum recommended PSU. If anyone out there knows it, please post the url. But I think that running an i7-920 OC\'d to 3MHz or a little higher, you should be fine with the 750W. The reason I went for the 1000W in my rig was to enable me to add another GTX295 at some point in time if or when I added a second monitor. nVidia says that you need minimum 1000W to run SLI.
Regards,
Nicholas
