psu advice

[hippomofatumas]

okay my budget is almost gone and im in a pickle.

my new rig is going to be a q6600, asus p5k deluxe, 2 gigs of gskill ddr2 800, zalman 9700, and i dont think anything else is important. i am currently using an antec tp2 550w. i know that would be mroe than enough for the q6600 and my current 7600 gt. but im thinking if i have the money i might go ahead and get an 8800 gts 640 or an 8800 gtx at the same time. could my psu handle that? or do i need to upgrade? im thinking i do... but i also think people can really overdo it with psu's. i dont want sli, so it doesnt need to be extreme.

anyhoo, please gimme your opinions. thanks.

forget the budget problem. i took a bunch of stuff you can get at retail stores out of my wish list, like keyboard, mouse, speakers, sound card, that kinda crap. so ive got the money. do i need a psu upgrade? the one i'd consider the most is

I'd suggest a Corsair 620HX over that.

im actually thinking of a silverstone st75f now.

its 750w for 160 bucks, not that bad. active pfc, modular cabling, and 4x6pin pci-e. it looks pretty good. i dont think its as well designed as the tt nor does it perform quite as well, but itd be good enough i reckon and its cheaper.
