CPU/GPU benchmark or stress tests

Anyone know of a system stress application I can run, specifically CPU and GPU intensive?
I ran BurnInTest and it's gone several cycles and didn't crash so I guess that's good, but the 3D graphics test was kinda lame.
I'm running a Q6600 w/a 25% OC to 3 Ghz and a stock GTX 260 on a cooler master 500w PSU. The PSU was dirt cheap and I want to push the CPU and GPU to the limit and see if the PSU can handle it as I'll need to exchange it in the next week or 2 if it cannot cut the mustard.

personally, i use the Crysis Demo and the Crysis Benchmark tool for testing my graphics.
orthos is a good all around tester for cpu, ram, and your mobo.
It won't do CPU + GPU together (I don't think) but the stress tests seem to work great. And the newer version has both GPU Ram and 3d tests.
I've heard this PSU got noisy and would have fan failures due to the fun rubbing up against the fan grill. I re-installed the grill, separating it from the fan with washers and it's pretty quiet. I'm probably going to return the PSU and get a nicer one. It seems to be running OK right now, but I want to setup an SSD RAID so I think I'll need the extra juice.
