What power supply will power this setup without problems? Also, I might add another 7900GTX so make sure it can power two video cards. I really donÂ’t want to buy the 850 or 1000 watt ones but if I have to I will. IÂ’ll probably have the Big Typhoon cooling my CPU and maybe 2-3 case fans (1x 120mm and 2x 80mm). Maybe throw in a couple cathodes. I want a PSU that will last me a while hopefully. And could also power a G80 when it comes out. I want it to last me a couple years. Budget under $300. I found one myself but can't verify if its any good:

Will that power everything mentioned efficiently?
 
I have never heard of that brand, but that is more than enough wattage to power it. I'd say 600W should be a good amount to aim for. I'd suggest looking into more known brands such as Antec, PC Power & Cooling, OCZ, and Enermax.
 
Okay. Do I need something with the 12V feature? I don't really know what that feature does but someone said I should get a power supply that has it. Can someone elaborate on this?
