Agreed. Any upgrades I make, other maybe to a faster but modest single core amd cpu or a 2nd hard drive, will mean a new PSU as well (to replace my 6 month old 350W that works perfectly - for what it powers now) and probably a high efficiency 500W, minimum, with lots of amps on the 12V line for these power crazy video cards and cpus of today.
