What kind of PSU will I need to run the following, plus future upgrades?

AMD Athlon 64 4000+
ASUS A8N-E
2GB Corsair CAS2 RAM
GeForce 7900GT
200GB HDD

Which is the best of these four? I can get the 620W EL but do I need that much power?

500 watt ATX power supply Enermax ELT500AWT Liberty

580 watt ATX power supply Tagan TG580-U15 EasyCon SERIES

580 watt ATX power supply Tagan TG580-U22 2FORCE SERIES

620 watt ATX power supply Enermax ELT620AWT Liberty

Any one of those PSUs would be more than sufficient for your rig. Of those four I would go for the Liberty 500W. Monarch has a good deal on the Enermax 535W Whisper II model EG565P right now - would save you $20.
