New power supply choice
I'm currently using an OCZ PowerStream 520W.
I've been using it for about 8-16 months. And I'm thinking about getting a new power supply and selling this one. I bought the PSU when it was going for ~$150. I just recently got 3x Seagate 320GB PWT hard drives, and I plan on getting an X-Fi XtremeGamer and a DX10 Videocard (depending on how popular DX10 games are @ the time of release). So do you guys think I should wait it out and see what DX10 has to offer as far as power requirements becuase I am aware the G80 will use 2x PCI-E Power Connectors for one single card. Any Opinions & Suggestions Please.

Getting either one of those doesn't quite answer my question(s).
Will I still need more power after I buy one of those for a G80 or so?

You can run a single card off of your power supply now. Trust me. I read a review with a higher ended system with a 8800 GTX used less than 400 watts under full load. If you dont believe me then go look for it..Its around here somewhere.
