O___OI'm not sure off the top of my head how much that graphics card draws (but I imagine it's a lot). Getting a higher wattage PSU would allow you to throw in a second GTX 580 in SLI whenever you wanted to. However, if you don't plan on doing this, stick with what you have.
750W is enough for the build that I posted. However, if I plan to overclock my comp, I will need a 800W supply.
Now, I am starting to think it's better to get 2x560 Ti cards for the same price as 580 GTX and throw in the third when its necessary.
I didn't realise Corsair made an AX750Thats definately sufficient for your build. As for the 560, 2 of those are quicker than a single 580 but I
would go for an 850w if I was to put those in SLI. The 560 Ti doesn't support 3 way SLI only 2 way at max - 570 and 580 are Tri and Quad Sli
compatible.

Yeah, true that. Too much hassle with 2 560's if they only support 2-way. I think I have now made up my mind, and I'm going with these specs:
