good psu for future ati cards?

im thinking of getting this puppy that is 50 bucks after rebate.

looks solid to me. tell me what you think      

I honestly have never heard of Xion. the reviews look good, so chances are you will get a quality part

However, If I am right, that might be overkill for future ATI cards

will the r600 requiere 8-pin connectors are can it still use the standard 6 pin?tigerballer

you can still use the 6 pin, but apparently you can't use the overclocking overdrive feature if you don't use the 8 pin, besides that 8 pin provides more juice than the regular 6 pin.

Watch out with these super cheap power supplies! Here -- in The Netherlands -- you can easily get 800Watt power supplies for only 50 euro! That's complete bull-crap and I don't know WHY they are even being sold.. :? I'm just warning you to find a decent power supply instead of one that fries your PC. ;)

are there any 8 pin power supplies out there right now?

Well take a gander at Newegg for them, or check out that seasonic that Dirk posted. 

ya that one looks doable

550 W will be plenty right?

Careful.., the PSU is the component that powers your whole system. Wouldn't risk buying a cheap/never-heard-of-brand for your computer. Get this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341002

Get the 650W version, I say get it off eBay. Most powersellers on there are selling them for about $60-70 shipped.
