Whats the minimum psu wattage I should get for a c2d system with an x1950xt graphics card? I also need to take into account the future being DX10 cards. Thanks.

Choosing a 600w PSU is not a bad idea. Sure you may not need 600w today, but we gamers often upgrade components and a 450w PSU won't handle a high end video card, especially if the 450w PSU is an OEM type that is heavily over-rated. Someone mentioned overclocking and that would definately push you over the edge. Components and OSes can be damaged by a straining PSU. I have been there a few times and learned my lesson.
