atleast a 700W

btw, i would wait a while until there are enough OC'ed core 2 duos and problems with the first batch have been ironed out...

Yep I'd say a 700W as well. Make sure it's a constant one as well! you don't want it dropping below the stated W. I can't remember the correct terminology for PSU's but there's like constant ones and vairible ones if I'm correct, one never drops below and one can do.
