why watts don't mean't everything id take a reliable 350watt powersupply over any cheap 600watt powersupply anyday the card he wants isn't really that demanding don't waste money on getting more watts when it won't matter

Yeah. Tests using a watt meter show that a liquid cooled computer with 2 8800GTX's and a C2D doesn't even break the 450 mark, so you will be fine with a GOOD 600.
