What PSU you think I should get with

Amd Athlon 3500
Asus AV8 Deluxe
BFG Geforce 6800 Ultra 256
going to have 2 harddrives
Cd-rom and dvd-rom


I know that Ill need atleast a 550watt if not 600watt due to the video card. But can anyone tell me of a realiable and good PSU.
 
I've just bought a 460w psu from q-technology (see http://www.quietpc.com/uk/psu.php#qtechnology). It's not arrived yet but when it does i'll let you know how it is. This model's supposed to be completely silent with a 120mm fan.

By the way, I'm currently running my system on 450w without any problems, so whether the graphics card nessecitates such a hefty psu I dont know.
 
I dont think you need that cause of a video card. So far i have seen people with 600watt PSU because they had 2+ Harddrives, 2 CD Rom drives, and watercooling systems....you dont need that much just cause of a Video Card when you have nothing else over powerconsuming in your setup
 
According to my geforce 6800 ultra instruction manual it has the following power requirements.

A minimum 350W system power supply, but 480W is highly recommanded. Two hard disk drive power dongles off of separate power supply cable bundles (smaller floppy disk drive connector is not sufficient).
