what would be a good MODULAR psu that will power this system with some headroom for overclocking? what kind of wattage should i be looking at?

q8200
dfi p45 dark
4 gigs ocz reaper ddr3 1333
evga 9800GTX+
seagate 7200.11 1tb
samsung dvd-/+rw w/ lightscribe
zerotherm nirvana
possibly a cathode?

any input would be awesome :)

would the corsair 520hx work or is it not enought wattage/amperage?

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX 520W ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies
 
yeah... it doesnt look like you're going to be CFing that rig, so any decent (Corsair, PC P&C, Silverstone, etc.) PSU over 500W should be fine
 
no you should have plenty of OCing headroom on that rig... personally i'd like a 600W on that one, but i love overhead... dont worry.. a 520W Corsair will have enough amps to run a GTX 280 and a QX9650 with decent OCs on both... really, its powerful!
