Just wondering if the corsair 520hx is good enough for this + future minor OCing, etc.

Q6600 OC'd @ 3.0 GHz
eVGA 8800 GTS 640mb
2 x 1gb DDR2 800 ram
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 mobo
Seagate barracuda 320gb
WD Raptor 74gb
Dvd burner
Dvd drive
Floppy drive
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi
 
Way more then enought. You could put a sli gtx with your q6600 oc on a corsair 520hx.
 
I'd personally get a HX620 just for a tiny bit extra headroom (they aren't much more expensive anymore), but yeah, the HX520 is definitely more than adequate for that rig. Have fun-it's a great power supply :D
 
At this time, the 520HX should be able to power up any single video card. Of course, this could change in the near future, but for now, take comfort in knowing that it can certainly handle that GTS, as well as the GTX.
