Default PSU for GTX 280?
As the title says. Ironing out the kinks in my new rig before I purchase everything.

List as follows:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
EVGA 750i FTW mobo or ASUS P5N72-T Premium
OCZ Reaper HPC 1066 memory
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 500 gb 32mb drive
Possibly WD Raptor 10000RPM 150gb drive
2 DVD burners
NZXT Tempest case
And GTX 280, plan to SLI in the future.

I don't know how much wattage to get, or what PSU will last a long time.

You could try an 850w, but I'd go with a 1000W just in case, the card is a BEAST (especially if you decide to overclock)

The corsair 1000w is a good bet.

Noty.
Corsair 650TX is enough I think.
To be safe, I would go with the 750TX.

Any possible way to stay around ~150?

Does it really need 1000 watt?

Don't they need 2x 8 pin? (yeah I'm confused, don't mind me). Heard good about corsair though and thermaltake too.

I only plan to dual SLI.

Ok that corsair doesn't have 8 pins though. I'm guessing I'd need 2 8 pin and 2 6 pin for the SLI.
