I am currently going to get a new system in a week or two, a $1900 game rig that multitasks also for programming/web design.
-E6600 Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
-Asus P5B Deluxe
-X1900 XT 512 MB
-Seagate Barracuda 250 GB SATA II
-Samsung 20.1 Inch LCD
-NZXT Apollo or Antec P180B Case
-Corsair XMS2 2 GB DDR2 800 RAM 5-5-5-12 Latency
-Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro
What should my current rig PSU power be??
I was planning on getting a Antec Truepower II 550W to power this rig, but heard that nex-gen GPUs will take up a huge amount of power - I will be upgrading the Gfx in about 8-10 months from now, about 5-6 months after DX10 Debut, preferably when DX10 secnond gens come out.
After some browsing, I selected this PSU for my system, to last me for DX10.

Will this last me through DX10 cards??? ( I would get a 8800 GT, or similar, definitely not GTX levels)
Think the 700W version should be a better choice?
