Will a 680W PSU be enough to handle this? Or should i upgrade?

- 2.4ghz intel core 2 quad processor

- 4gb OCZ RAM

- GeForce 8800 GTS 640mb Superclocked video card

- 4 case fans (2 come with the case, 2 i'm buying separately)

- 500gb SATA hard drive

Should be no problem a quality 450 watt would run that all day long. At least thats what Nvidias website says. I have a 550 running a 2.6ghz core 2 with 3 400 gig HDDs, SB audigy, Radeon 1950XT, ATI TV card, 4 gigs of ram never had any issues.

It all falls on the configuration/quality of this 680W PSU. Just like megapixels in digital cameras, a watt rating doesn't mean everything in power supplies. You've selected an 8800GTS which is going to need a minimum of 28 ampson the 12V. You SHOULD be fine but again it all depends. Check the specs for the PSU to make sure.
