^ Why would you need two optical drives? Most people don't.

If you look at what Illusion posted that's with two HD drives and 10,000 RPM drives at that. Besides, with 1TB drives, how many drives do you really need to cram in a computer these days?

Solid state/high speed for program/OS, slow HD for storage.

You're talking 20 bucks to not be under 90% load all the time... I don't even know why were having this conversation.

Proof that he would be 90% load on a 650w PS with so far one confirmed component? LOL

Anyways, that's still two drives, which a 650w can handle more than adequately. We're having this conversation because a member who had no idea that he could even use an 8800 bought one and is now asking for advice for building a cheap system to use it.

Just trying to help him get the most bang for buck, if he can save a few dollars on a PS, that's free money that can go towards RAM/Mobo/Processor. A power supply should really be at the bottom of his list for allocating funds TBH, when was the last time you heard of someone frying their powersupply due to overload? It's really not that common so long as you go with a good manufacturer.
