I am thinking of getting an Antec CP-850. I know that it will be plenty for my current set up, but would it be enough if i wanted to add a second gtx 275 later on down the road?

My set up is:

Asus P6T Deluxe v2
Intel i7 920
Evga GeForce GTX 275 1792MB
LG 22x DVD burner
Zalman 9700 NT
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB
OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Antec Twelve Hundred, so there are 6 case fans

Oh, goodness, yes. Plenty of power.

Those 6 case fans, even running on HIGH, won't pull more than 1.5 amps at 12 volts.

Overkill, even with two 275's.
