I've decided to get another video card for my system but I'm worried that my power supply might not be able to handle it. Here's my specs:

XFX GeForce 8800GT Extreme 512MB (getting a second one)
Thermaltake Purepower 600 W ATX12V Power
CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) SDRAM DDR2 (800)
Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB
Western Digital Caviar 640GB 7200 RPM
LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner
ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mm
eVGA nForce 680i Mobo

I doubt that my 600W PS can supply all my components but I'm not sure. eXtreme Power Supply recommended a 460W PS but that doesn't seem right to me either. There's some options on there I wasn't too sure about.

Any information/suggestions would help a bunch.

Re: Will a 600 W PSU support my configuration?

600W seems a bit low, especially if you plan on getting another 8800GT.

Take a look at this

Any of the High end desktop PSU's described therein would be more than sufficient; however, I wouldn't go with anything less than 700W
