      I bought a 950w power supply just for extra reliability (got the 8800GTX) . But 750-850 will do fine. You need a good processor (I choose AMD 5000+ Dual Core) because having the gts without a good processor is pointless. Not sure about the GTS, but the GTX is 28cm long so i was kinda suprised when i got it out the box, make sure it fits in your PC case as people have had problems with that. Also you need "Extra long dual slots" for your card.

              It will be enough to power the 8800GTS, but it is not made by a truted company. The PSU might not be built well resulting in instability.

              Also i would suggest to go with Evga's 8800GTS.

                    Wrong again. The initial rating of 26a required is for your total system...so unless you plan to buy 2 of everything else in your PC, then obviously it wouldn't work out to be 26a for each card, or each line...no matter how you phrase it.

                    Stephen: I am going to be as polite as possible here, but would you PLEASE STOP giving advice in the Tech Section here as you are entirely wrong every single time you post!

                    You're advice is not only bad/incorrect, but it is going to cost someone alot of money should they choose to listen to you one of these days...before a proper reply has been made.

                        It seems I used the link from your other identical post on this subject.

                        This is the weak PSU to avoid that you linked:
                        Komplett Group is the largest online-first electronics retailer with a core focus on consumer electronics and gaming products in Scandinavia. The group has continuously been at the forefront of online retail and developed the e-commerce industry in Scandinavia.

                        do not buy the linked PSU above!
                        .
                        .
                        .
                        .
                        This is the second PSU you linked, the one you should buy if you do not already have a PSU:
                        Komplett Group is the largest online-first electronics retailer with a core focus on consumer electronics and gaming products in Scandinavia. The group has continuously been at the forefront of online retail and developed the e-commerce industry in Scandinavia.

                        That is a good power supply with plenty of power.

                        Here are the actual specs from NewEgg, since that website you linked contains ZERO information on the products they sell!

                        It shows 22amps on each 12v rail...more than enough for either your 8800gts or 8800gtx. If you buy this PSU, you will be fine.

                          The description has me almost laughing tears:

                          "With 600 watts of pulsating real power, the Xion PowerReal..."

                          It is, after all, very important that you get Real power and not the fake shight. Electrons are easy to fabricate, being tiny and all. Oh, and if you're going to pay $100 for power, you've just got to get it...pulsating.
