So just doing more research on my future system, and after reading all the previous posts about power supplies I was wondering about the Apevia 600W DARK SIDE POWER ATX Power Supply or 680W version.
My future system will be around a core 2 duo 6600, geforce 8 gtx, 2 gigs of ram, WD raptor 10k rpm hard drive, etc.
However I noticed the Apevia 680W BEAST POWER ATX Power Supply is only like 10 dollars more then the 600W version. I know you guys have said in the past that my computer won't even get near 600 watts, but what about leaving expandability options? I mean 10 bucks isn't that much more...will I ever even reach 600 watts with 2 geforce 8s in Sli + another western Raptor raided in the future? Also is there Iceberg Power Supply versions worth a look? They don't seem to be that much more expensive either.
