600 would be fine, pretty good deal with rebate 75 bucks

600W is more than necessary, a solid 450W or even 400W would be fine.

As always, my complete list of recommendations is located at http://www.computerforum.com/90117-ceewi1s-psu-recommendations.html.

I'd also recommend the Corsair VX450/VX550 as great units for the price.

Keep in mind as well, that SLI'd 8600GTs will generally be inferior performance wise to a single, superior card such as an 8800GT.

If you dont have the money for a 8800GT a single 3850 is hard to beat for 179 bucks compaired to 8600GT in SLI
