I need help picking out a new psu. I was looking for something in the 600-700 watt rangewith 2-3 rails along with it. i plan to run a quad core on it with 2 gigs of ram, i have an 8600gt, but plan to up to a 8800 later also. So if it falls in this range post it here, and i dont want to spend $300 it either. I want to spend $120-$150 range as i have just bought 2 gig ram and a sound blaster audify 4. WDF?: I found a hot girl WDF?: Who lets me WDF?: Drink WDF?: Smoke WDF?: And play video games WDF?: ALL DAY shignog: and in the back door? WDF?: She's back door compatible WDF?: And it comes enabled by default WDF?: I need to teach sirus a lesson WDF?: Oh wait WDF?: That's called gay shignog: if there is a girl there its bi WDF?: lol WDF?: ok shignog: so its not so gay WDF?: Good enough

If your going SLI you are going to want more than 600w... especially with 4cores... I read ALL your private messages.

WDF: This shouldn't surprise you, this is me we're talking about... It'll be a test.

Seeing as how current Quad Cores only draw 105 Watts of power on full load, and the max a video card can draw with a single 6-pin PCI-e power plug is a little above 150 Watts and the 8 pin in the 200 Watt range, you can definitely get by with a quality 400-500W.
Antec Earthwatts 430W or 500W are pretty good as they are built by Seasonic
Antec Trio 550W or something like that are made by Fortron and are also very good quality.
Anything from the 80 plus website should be fine also.
