Don't get cheap brand PSU. Get any good 400w+ PSU and you'll be fine. A quad and a GTX280 barely peek at 300+ at load. A 9800GTX is even less power consuming. So you'll do fine even with a good-brand 320w.

Probably, but 500w would be ideal.

Heh, any 9800 series nvidia card requires a min of a 450 watt PSU. Don't go with anything lower than that.

Also, highly recommend against Leadtek for any PC part, nothing but bad experiences with plenty of their products which my friends have purchased. I've also seen a lot of problems posted about them in another forum I frequent.

I would just buy from brands like EVGA, BFG, Gainwood etc. For ATI - Sapphire, PowerCooler, HIS.
