Grabbed this from the thread I made about building your own system a few threads down.

Going over 600W is usually reserved for people who have full server-sized PC's with a ton of HD bays all being used and power hungry cooling options.

- 1 PCIe power plug on the card (GTX460, Radeon 6850): 400w
- 2 PCIe power plugs on card(GTX560, Radeon 6950): 500w

I recommend Corsair (non-Builder Series), Seasonic, Antec (Earthwatt series), and XFX PSUs. They're all quality units and you'll be happy with them.
