You do not need something that powerful. One with less power like this: Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies would be fine for your system. But it does look like you will have to upgrade it. The one you have now is not powerful enough i think - especially if you plan to overclock. EDIT: zythyl said: so how much wattage am i looking at? Click to expand... Wattage isnt all that important, that amps is much more important - please read the PSU guide in this section of the forums.

veg1992 Golden Master Messages 19,993 Aug 29, 2008 #7 The 750tx is really overboard on Amps, but if you want to SLi later on, its a good investment, plus its so cheap! Corsair TX 750W ATX 12V Power Supply - CMPSU-750TX - Buy.com Get it from there though, and use Google Checkout to slash $10, or you could get even a 550vx and be fine..
