need some advice for watt power supply

well im decided to buy this graphics card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130318

do you think that this power supply will be able to handle it? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339002

some help would be niceultragamer101

Waiting more than 12 minutes before getting impatient would be nice too.

But anyhow. While the PSU you linked is power sufficient, HEC is not considered amongst the list of reliable brand PSUs.

Try a similar model by ABS, Antec, Thermaltake, Hiper, Silverstone, or even Corsair. Not a fan of Corsair but people on this board seem to like them.

Any of the above linked cards will have more than enough power for your GPU. And all are modular cable, which is a MUST these days. Also one of those even acts as a USB hub too.

Not to forget OCZ, you could go for the 600W GameXStream for $89.99 or the 600W StealthXStream for $79.99 the only difference is that the GameXStream has a blue LED which lights up the whole PSU

i have one of those GamerXstreme's, works well but it would be nice if it was moduler, i end up hiding most of my cables down the back of the mother board tray

Quality brand or no, 750W is extreme overkill for an 8800GT. Assuming the other components aren't too power hungry, even a good 380W would be fine. If you aren't planning on SLI'ing them, I'd recommend a Corsair VX450W, or if you feel you must have a more powerful supply, an HX520W.ajkalan

450W is the bare minimum (and that's presuming a PSU that never delivers less than) for an 8800GT. Modern components are very power hungry though, and one likes to always plan for the eventuallity of going SLI and Crossfire. Presumably that's why he'd want at least 650 watts.

I'll revise my statement. A quality 330W PSU (like this) will comfortably run a mainstream 8800GT system. Sure, if you're planning on Crossfire/SLI, then that 600W power supply makes sense, and it might make sense to get a somewhat large supply for future single-card upgrades or other power-hungry components (like a dozen hard drives?). But my point stands that an 8800GT is not such a card.
