Upgrading to XFX 7950GT, what PSU?

[Jetster220]

Im getting ready to snag a XFX7950GT, but Im gonna need a new PSU and am not quite sure what I need to look for as far as what Rail's should be putting out what Amps.

Currently in the Rig is this,
AMD Athlon 64 3200
1gig PC3200
1 Case fan
7200rpm 160gig HD
2 CD Drives
XFX7950GT coming soon

So what do I need.

Im looking at this PSU, will it be more than plenty.

Ive had my NeoHE 550 for quite awhile now and its powered everything GREAT so far including my past 7800gt's in SLi , my 7900GTO ( including my not yet delivered 8800GTS ; which has already been tested with a buddies 8800gts and my NeoHE 550) .

Good call....

I second the Antec Neo 550. I have had great luck with Antec stuff, as have my buddies, and I was actually looking to get a Neo before I realized I use every connector anyway

I say 500 is cutting it close. 600w imo is the new standard

I ended up going with this one,

as a package deal Newegg had for it and the card.

I also ended up with this eVGA 7950 instead as well.
