If you can afford 8 series you might as well, even if you never go vista you'll still have one awesome fast card.

180 for both or for each? You definitly can't get an 8 series for that kind of money, in fact, it might be hard to find a good 7 series for that, especially if you are sharing money with a PSU.........

I'm not too sure because I have another 250W psu separated from the main one and it's used to power fans and the card, which I thought is sufficient.
