Hi guys i am having trouble choosing the right PSU for my system. System as follows:

MSI 890fxa-gd70 mobo
Gigabyte HD5850 OC
AMD Phenom 965 Black Edition Quad 3.4Ghz
8 gig OCZ AMD black edition DDR3 1600mhz ram
2x 500 gig HDD in raid 0

I need a psu that will handle this gear plus also in the future i will add another 5850 so would be good if the recommended PSU could also support the extra card. Thanks in advance for your help! :)

nitro...scott made some good recommendations. At the moment corsair are really on a roll with great PSUs at 600w+. Only thing I'd consider is noise. Pay attention to the noise, some PSUs are great but freekin noisy. I personally went for the Enermax rev85+ as there solid but damn quite - v.important to me
