    I wouldn't bother. 500W is ample.

    Thanks all i'll stick with the 1 CPU fan atm but i'm a bit confused on the PSU will i need the 500W or 600W? I'm tempted to go for the 600W but i don't want to waste the money if it's not needed.

    500W is ample. Dual cards (SLI/CF) might need 600W though.
