I will be buying new parts over the next 3 months. I'm starting out with an opty 170 and an ati x1900xtx or 7900gtx, haven't decided, because I'm waiting on the dfi ati 3200 chipset and how it performs (or I'll get the 'expert' board and go nvidia). I want the ability to run either sli or crossfire.

I want to run 3 hardrives total, my 2 raptors and a storage drive. What PSU can I get that will run all that with a solid oc on the cpu?

I have a powerstream 520 (it runs what I have well, I'm keeping it on the current rig), i'll be willing to get another 520, will it be enough or do I need a new (more powerful) PSU for the new rig?
 
What else is in it?

Mobo
opty 170
crossfire x1900xtx or sli 7900 gtx
2 raptors
1 big drive

I'd think your current powerstream should be enough.
