Nah it's not hard aslong as you've got the right PSU , It's just put it in place and plug in the cables that fit A Male + B Female = Fit . You can see on the cables which fit with the other , it's as simple as that.
And i think there's some guides on the internet . On power i'm getting a new OCZ Gamexstream 700W SLI , but 550W+ should be enough aslong as it's a quality brand.
I didn't say i was only gonna use it for my current setup , i'm planning on serious OC'ed SLI with Amd Phenoms with some more Ram and 2 S-Ata HDD etc .

Do you kno how much power a 8800GT SLI system is using??
Listen bud i just wanna be future proof here so i don't need to buy a more powerful in a couple of years . The minimum for SLI 8800GT is 450W and Single is 400W bare in mind that this is minimum. It may work but it's not sure.
Don't talk against me , i'm not in the mood for a debate.
I received my 8800 gt saturday and oops, my psu doesn't have enough power to run it. :s I'll buy a 500w bluestorm 2 from Fortron in a couple of days.Is it any good guys?
Man you don't need 700W PSU for 8800GT, a brand 400w with 22A on +12v rail is enough,
I recommend Corsair VX450W or Seasonic S12II 430W

it better to buy a psu with more watts then staying on the min 700w is a very good choice 400w is a strain on the psu and 22amp my 8800gt box says 26amp+ and 450w+ to run min
it's unhealthy for your comp's PSU to run at full load....if you do, your looking at a huge decrease in it's life-time... so i guess my advise is to shoot high, but not insanely high.....i say if you don't plan on running 2 8800GT in sli than a 500-600w is fine....but if you do plan on it, then get a 700w....prepare for future.....
[QUOTE="A1B2C3CAL"]With any newer graphics cards I don't go below a 600watt PSU. Some might call it overkill I call it thinking ahead for a upgrade.EternalMax
how are those 8800GT's workin for you? just wondering.....
I am very happy that I chose them. I can't wait to see how the 9800's turn out, if they perform good i'll be going with a 9800 sli upgrade in the future. I'm blasting N.Koreans and Aliens right now! :D
i know this has been asked to death, but do you need sli'd 8800GT's to run crysis well? i have one on back order right now and i was just wondering if i can run crysis well.... i've never actually heard an answer from someone who has a 8800gt.....
