hey guys, got a video card picked out that I am planning on going with (8800gt), now just wondering what I need to look at with regards to PSU's. I'm looking at going with the cheapest I can get to run it. What sort of wattage should I be looking at?
no plans on really upgrading any further, computer stats below.

450-500 will be just fine.

According to the Antec PSU calculator if you have your system in your sig with a 8800GT and you have 4 USB devices taking power from your system, you are going to need 411W of power (and that is with a 10% overclock on the processor). So I would say a 450 should be fine.

sounds good, i'm not overclocked at all, i found a cheap 585W PSU, bottom of the barrel in terms of brand name, but it looks like it will get the job done as well as i need
Thanks guys
