Hey I need a new PSU. Any recommendations? It'll be running this system:

CPU: i7 920
Mobo: ASUS PT6 Deluxe II
GPU: nVidia GTX295
RAM: 2x2GB DDR3 10600

corsair with seasonic guts, 620W+ (thats probably overkill but its always best to have plenty of headroom)

Personally I have a HX520 modular, same CPU with a HD4890

Only 620? It's SLI on a stick, so wouldn't it need more juice?

go to specifications
they say 680 so i guess 620 would do
I have chieftec 400W while they say that i need 450W for my gtx 8800(9800 form some reason i don't see 8800gtx there)[4GB ram and Q6600]

Its about how many amps you have on the rails, a good quality PSU can punch above its weight in the wattage stakes. but tbh I don't know the draw of that card though i'd be surprised if there is any single card setup that needs more than a HX620

Edit: your card has double the maximum draw of mine so you my want a bit more. the HX620 is 100W more than my PSU but your card can draw 150w more than mine (in something insanely intensive like furmark anyway).
