Ok so I am finally getting close to buying this computer and I was wondering if this PSU will run this hardware and more in the future. I really like this PSU because of the features so please tell me if this is a good one.

Power Supply
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicat [...] CatId=2535

My (probably) specs:

Ultra X3 ULT40064 1000-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, PCI-E Ready, Energy Efficient, Modular $304.98

BFG GeForce GTX 280 Video Card - OC Edition, 1GB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0 x16, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, HDMI Support, VGA Support $457.99

ASUS Maximus II Formula LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail $319.48

Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000GLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM $342.99

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor HH80562PH0568M - 2.40GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Kentsfield, Quad-Core, OEM, Socket 775, Processor $224.99

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail $206.58

I havent picked any ram yet but I know I want 8 gigs of it. Also for the above products, if you can find the exact product for a better price Id really apprichiate it. Also the site with the better part MUST be a Canadian site because the Canadian dollar isnt at all good and if buying from the US it will be much more expensive.

the power supply seems like overkill even for future upgrades. this psu will handle another gtx280 and a few more hardrives and fans.

I can't comment on the quality of the brand, but I feel obligated to notify you that a quick google shows it for a LOT less than the link you provided.
But I do agree with Invisik on it being overkill.

$304 - WOW!

Have you considered a high quality Corsair psu for $100.00 less:

There used to be a page here at THG that divided psu's into categories. The Tier 1 category listed very high quality, heavy duty psu's. I do not remember Ultra being in that top category.

Wow that Corsair is cheap id go for that even though i agree on the overkill.
