Hi, I'm planning on building a new system and was looking at the corsair models. I definately want to get one of them, but I'm not sure which would be enough to power my new rig.
Proc: 6600 OC'ed
Video Card: 8800GTS OC'ed (doubt that I'll do SLI in future)
Mobo: evga 680i
Case: Antec SOLO
Memory: 2GB OCZ PC1000
HD: 1Raptor 74GB 1Seagate 7200.10 400GB
Soundcard: X-FI Fatality
2 Optical Drives

I'm not sure on the overclocks yet as I have not yet built this rig; however, I'm hoping to reach the highest possible overclocks for both the proc/video card and ram. I've searched the boards and read that the hx520 is enough for the GTS, but I'm not sure if it would be enough for everything OC'ed and my harddrives and such. Any advice would be great.
 
Off topic,but you may want to look elsewhere for a mobo.as the 680i is not exactly trouble free,as it should nearly be given the high price it has.Look at an Asus P5N-E SLI,Gigabyte
965p-ds3 or Asus pb5-e.For power supplies,step up to a HX620 to give yourself some extra breathing room,otherwise the HX520 should be ok.
 
If you don't plan on sli 8800's, the 520 should be enough.
