Corsair is new to the PSU business but they use the single rail design of the PC power and cooling PSU's and seem to be making some kick ass PSUs:

Just look at their raitings, I would suggest 650+ since single rail offers less power total (the 650 only has 52amps). The 12v amps is the limiting factor on PSU's today, NOT watts, they really need to rate them by amps. Your video card draws about 26amps, the rest of your system draws around 10 or less (CPU, usb, and memory draw on the 3.3 and 5v rails, so are not included).
So (if your computer has 2 PCIeX16 slots) you can buy a ~100 PSU now, and maybe buy a next gen video card in a year, and run your gtx260 as a physics only card, and a GTX360 as video and draw around a total of 50-60 amps MAX. I am doing the same thing, except replace the GTX260 with my 9800gx2. But if you have a 8800 or higher (which you do), you can re-use your graphics card as a dedicated physics on your next build
