high powered PS ?
Hi was thinking of getting a new case, and i came across one that i really like - http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811119136 . it comes with a 1000W power supply. it got me thinking, how important is a PS that powerful ? Im interested in high-end gaming, and i was wondering if its really necessary to get a PS like that or will my current PCP&P 510W PS be sufficient for any needs ? btw i plan on running 2 high powered SLI graphics cards in the future. thanks for any help

For 2 (high end) cards running with SLI you want 650w+

great thanks guys, i appreciate all your input :) i was basically asking because i was thinking should i get the one that comes with the 1000W PS, for 379.99 or the one without it for 179.99. but now that i look at the prices of other PS's of comparable output, i think ill be getting the one that comes with the PS.
