New PC Power Supply Concerns

Here's what I have...wanting to run the latest and greatest, i.e. Crysis, COD4, etc.

Will the power supply be enough for this system to run properly? Trying to save a little money and I don't really plan on upgrading for a while, save another stick of RAM and maybe a Quad Core CPU when the Phenom's get better.

According to the recommended list, it looks like it, but I guess it still stands as a vaild question. Anyone know? CoolerMaster wasn't on the list of "good" or "bad" power supplies.
 
The eXtremepower series are all over rated powersupplies. The Real Power Pros, on the other hand, are much better.
 
It has dual 12v rails,but I would go with a better one,maybe a cooler master. Ive heard they were pretty good,but just what ive heard. Also I might go for around 700 watt.
 
I bought an emergency 500W cooler master one, i've had it a week and its working perfeectly, go w/ thermaltake purepowers, OCZ, or CM for ur power needs.
