It wasn't until I got into bigger resolution (1920x1200) with high AA and AF that I started having power problems, I added a TT 650w booster to run the primary circuits on my cards and solved my power issues.
With you using externally powered cooling (slush system) and benching on DICE until you get off your olive colored ass and get setup with Ln2, I really think that 860w would suit your needs admirably. It would save you a few clams (turtle shells or coconuts) or w/e you people use for trade
