That xtreme outvision doesn't give enough information on power consumption.

I was thinking a 650TX, but correct me if im wrong. Here is my rig im going to be building once i get my grades. (i am doing it this way, so i reward myself correctly ;) )

Q6600
4GB DDR2 800
Asus P5E
3870 X2
(2)WD Raptor 75GB HD
WD 300GB HD
DD-CPX1 12V Pump (changed pumps) :p
(5) 120mm fans

Edit:
(2) TV cards
waterpump Danger Den DDC-12V 18 Watt Version 3.2
 
There is no such thing as too big a power supply.
Bigger is better,so buy the largest you can afford.
Its better to have too big a PSU than too small a PSU.

Wrong....

Who cares if you PSU is 800w when it breaks 2 weeks after you get it.

That 650xt should do just find.

The way i'd pick a motherboard would be...

1) Quality - check out the warranty, good reviews, and a reliable vendor.
2)Wattage - You obviously don't want to go to low on wattage, it all depends on what you have.
3)Misc. Aspects - Modular cabling, sound, LED lights, ect.

You mean power supply right? Didn't know that wattage was major factor in choosing a motherboard:D

Anyway the 650TX should be enough. However, you may want to jump on this awesome deal for the 750TX 750W PSU:
Corsair 750TX 750W PSU - $99
 
nice! nothing like saving 15 bucks going somewhere else. Thanks! :)

Got anymore deals for me? :D
 
The 750TX should still be enough for that additional pump.
