As everyone has already told you, your power supply is going to be dictated by what video card you run. If you want to think ahead for BoB:SOW, you need to think in the realm of the GTX 280 or better. I just upgraded to 2 GeForce GTX295's in SLI. Due to the LARGE power requirements of the cards, I had to upgrade to a 1200w power supply to run everything.
If I were you, I'd be looking for a card/PSU combo that will work for the foreseeable future, not just a stop gap to get you back in the air. With the current state of the economy, you can find some pretty good deals out there from local computer dealers that just want to move their stock. I picked up my PSU for $149.00 (Kingwin 1200w). Normally that particular PSU goes for about $289.00.
Btw, my GTX295's are shorter than the 9800 series cards and shorter than the GTX280's I was running. Made getting my raid setup back in much easier.

Though I fly through the valley of death, I will fear no evil.....
For I am the meanest SOB in the valley!
