Hello I just bought a 8800GTS 512, and I am now looking for a PSU to go along with it.
 
The 450 and 550 corsair looks appealing.
 
However i have a Hiper 580w at a very appealing price.
 
 Here is more about it,

a very good brand 550W is enough.but its better to have a 700W PSU if you intended to keep it for a while and do overclocking at the same time.

A: GeForce 8800 GT graphics cards require a minimum 400 W or greater system power supply (with 12V current rating of 26 A) for single GPU operation. Please refer to www.SLIZone.com for a list of recommended SLI certified power supplies for multi-GPU configurations.

I think you misread it. A 400W PSU for the entire system is NOT excessive.

Hiper is not known as a quality PSU manufacturer.  I would use one if I had to, but I wouldn't purposefully buy one.  How much is your PSU budget?
