I have an extra 650W Antec Earthwatts I was going to use, as I saw that the 460GTX uses a whole 100 watts more than my current card!

That PSU is more than enough for your needs. You're even SLI Ready with that PSU.

Sorry for bumping my own thread but I came across another question that I need to ask as I am building my new system:
How much RAM does Dolphin need? Is 4G ok? 8G? At what point does no extra RAM hep speeds? Thanks. 07-14-2012, 08:28 AM

1-2GB is plenty. 4/8GB will not improve dolphins performance but it will improve the performance of windows and some applications.

32-bit Windows 7 runs fine on 1GB of RAM. I wouldn't set out to run it with only 1GB, but if you had to, it'd be okay.

Both 32 bit and 64 bit windows 7 will run on 1GB of ram. They won't run well, but they will run.
With some clever tweaking you could even get it to run with much less ram than that.
