Sorry to hijack.

Lets say if a Q6600 and a 8800GTS 320MB is added into the picture. Does 500W sounds sufficient? I'm having a problem with stability which I am suspecting could be PSU related.

both of this quote, recommended 550W, especially for those fan and light, light will use more power but fan not, however, 550W is good for future upgrade, and provide more stable power.
