Is this PSU enough?

[Mr. Bluntman]

I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but rather than hook everything up and have it fry like an egg maybe someone with a little more insight than myself in the world of power supplies can help me out...

The offending power supply:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121002&Tpk=kingwin+abt-600cw

The guilty parties (when finished):

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ AM2**
MSI K9N SLI Platinum (nForce 570 SLi)
2GB Kingston DDR2-800 5-5-5-18 1.8v
2 x EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB Superclocked (576/1700)*
2 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 160GB SATA in RAID0*
LiteON 16x DVD-ROM
LiteON 16x DVD-/+RW
1 x 92mm Vantec fan
1 x 120mm Vantec fan

According to the power supply calculator @ www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp, it says I need a PSU that's rated for a minimum of 471W. No clue what I need on the rails, but the one I'm getting will have 20A on each 12V rail.

Now I have heard of people running FX-60 and FX-62 CPUs with two X1950XTX cards in crossifire on this power supply without issue, and under load consumes about the same as a 8800GTS. Can anyone else confirm that I will be good or should I invest in something beefier?

Any advice would be great!

*Only running one of each at first, but will be upgrading to two within 3-6 months
**Upgrading to a X2 5600+ when I get the funds

 

[Mr. Bluntman]

Does anyone have any advice?

your newegg link goes nowhere for me.
Please just post the name and spec of the PSU (and a link if you want)

Don't go with that PSU, check out the corsair HX620 instead

Yes, I am sounding like a broken record, but the PSU is great.

 

[Mr. Bluntman]

The thing is, I'm already locked into an agreement to buy it...

From the looks if it, the wattage department is more than enough, but the million dollar question is does it have enough amperage... I know it's enough to power a lone GTX if I do the step-up. But if all else fails, I can always get in contact with a friend of mine that will do a trade-in for an adequate PSU...

Silverstone Olympia 650 watt is a better deal at $128 from deadeyedata.com if you don't mind the lack of modular cabling. The Corsairs were reasonably priced for a while there, but now they're getting more expensive and really aren't the best choice for /everyone/ anymore. Corsair rebrands two nice Seasonic units and now they're taking over the PSU industry?

 

[Mr. Bluntman]

So I take it it's not going to be enough. Guess I will have to trade up once I get a second card.

Yeah, don't think that's going to be able to hack it in SLI.
