Building new PC, Need PSU Suggestions

[modifierLE]

Im currently building this:

AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (San Diego)
MSI K8N SLI-F (nForce4 SLI) Motherboard
1GB PNY PC3200 DDR
BFG Tech 256MB OC'ed 7800GT
Creative Soundblaster Auduigy ZS 7.1 THX Certified Sound Card.
10K RPM 36.8GB SATA western digital Hard Drive
16x Sony DL DVD-RW
LITE-ON 52x CDRW


Now people have told me that with this setup my old 550w Soyo Raptor ATX PSU from my AMD Athlon XP2800 setup....would not work with my new computer.

Can anyone suggest a good Power Supply from Newegg.com that will work with a 64 Bit, SLI, SATA, Machine.

Currently that setup is costing me $1K exactly, because im recyling my old Ram, and optical drives.


thanks much guys


(if u want to make any other suggestion to my setup go ahead)

The 7800's require at LEAST 400 watts, at least the one I saw did.

if there's no budget, go w/ PC Power&Cooling PS's (the best out right now) or OCZ Powerstream.

a quality 400-450W PSU will be good enough for this system , you will even have power left for later expansion of the PC .

But if you want to be realy shure , and for the future (SLI plans ??)

Get a OCZ modstream 550W , those are about 100-110$ and you get suberb quality, not only in delivering power but also the cables are very nice finished, and you can put the cables you don't use off .
