what power supply do i need to run two 9800 GTX+ in a i7 rigfalconfootball

Case- Rosewill Tu-155

500w power supply

MSI 4850 512mb gddr3 video card

AMd phenom 9600 2.33 ghz ~ cpu

Gigabyte Mobo with 2 pci 2.0 expansion slots, nice overclocker. onboard 7800gs graphics with hdmi

4gigs gskill ddr3 pc 800 ram(note to upgrade 2ith 4 more gigs even though not needed)

500gb hdd 7200rpm sata

mouse/keyboard combo(nice newegg deal)

cd/dvdrw

arctic silver 5 cooler

but sunbeam contact core freezer cpu cooler that comes with a so called better thermal paste

all for 650$ approximately. I'm also going to either get an additional MSI 4850 gpu for crossfire, or just get rid of the first one and replace with a evga gtx 260..then buy another gtx 260 for sli...later on...

I'll seee.

It depends on how much my stupid mcdonalds job earns me. My original plan was 1000$ but now I reduced to 650$ due to some circumstances. I should have it by the end or middle of feburary.

SO that's a pretty good system right?

I mean i should be able to play valve games at max and maybe max out crysis and some other games

Buton other note i have an old agp fx5200 128mb video card coming in for my stupid old dell optiplex gx150. that piece of crap has 1.0ghz pentium, 3 cpu, 256mb of pc 133 ram, a stupid mobo, 30gig hdd, it's sad! I can't take it anymore!

I got an x1650 pro 512mb gpu that didnt fit in my case so I'm rma'ing it . WIll the 5200 128mb perfrorm better ? I got about 20-30 fps with wow on medium yesterday witht the x1650 so...

DVI is made for LCD screens, it's wierd that they didn't give you one with the screen or video card???
