so i just rebuilt my system with the following new parts...
q6600
p5k-e wifi/ap
8gb ddr2-800
in addition to:
5 hd's (1 ide 4sata), and a nec burner
6800gt
fan controller w/ 4x fans and 4x ccfls
1 leadtek tvxp2000
1 ati hdtv wonder
and a floppy drive
I was powering it on an OCZ-520 12U 520 watt psu, and it runs ok on the default settings, but when i started to oc and prime each of the cores i watched as the 12v dropped from 11.8 to 11.6 to eventually 11.2... i stopped it right away and decided that i need a new psu.
What would you recommend if i plan on adding an 8800gtx or whatever the next big nvidia card is around next christmas? also plan on adding 1 or 2 more hds at some point... want to run the q6600 g0 at 3.8 (and with the current temps and my huge ass heatsink i think it should be able to handle it)...
thanks,
mike
would this psu handle it?

my current voltages for the default q6600 settings are
1.23 vcore (was set to auto in bios but seems to drop to 1.23 when i prime all 4 cores at once) its at 1.25 if i only prime 1 core.
3,28v 3.3+
5.09v +5
11.65v +12 (jumps up to 11.82 if idle)
