So I'm dropping some money down on a new PSU sometime in the near future and I want to make sure I'm covered and not putting too much stress on the power supply I buy.
My current specs are:
[B]CPU:[/B] Core 2 duo 2.66ghz @ 3.3 Ghz (Upgrading to quad core soon)
[B]HDD1:[/B] 300gb maxtor
[B]HDD2:[/B] 1000gb (1tb) Seagate
[b]HDD3:[/b] 500gb Western Digital
[B]GPU:[/B] Sapphire 4870 1gb
[B]RAM:[/B] 4gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 RAM
[B]PSU:[/B] Antec 550 watt (Need a new one)
[B]MOBO:[/B] Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6
[B]CASE:[/B] Azza Solano 1000 (blue)
[B]Heatsink: [/B] Coolermaster Hyper TX3
[B]FANS: [/B] 2x 230mm Blue LEDs, 2x 140mm Blue LED fans, 2x 120mm Fans.
I'm looking to get some new RAM, and maybe eventually a new motherboard/processor.
The thing I'm most worried about: I might replace my 4870 with a 4890 and then crossfiring it with a second 4890.
What wattage would you guys reccomend with my plans for rebuilding in the future, new RAM and graphics card crossfired, etc.
I was thinking possibly [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153106[/url] and that will give me some headroom.
What's the lowest amount that I should be getting, power supply wise to run the rig with a second card, etc.
Thanks in advance.
Don't get Thermaltake, get this

.
If you are going to crossfire 4890's, 550 might be enough, but its pushing it. What brand Antec is it?
Antec neopower.
It's a relatively old PSU. Needs an upgrade anyways. 700 is enough for 2 4890s and the rest of the rig?

That's what is in my machine now.
