:D Hi want to buy 8800 GTX 768mb at the end of the month but my main concern are, will my PSU handle it?
The PSU I currently use is an OCZ 600w GameXstream.

So will this do the trick or am I indeed in the need of a new PSU? :(

What would you recommend to power this unruly beast? :)

Also what are the required amount of Sustained amps are required for this monster and i dont mean max peak :rolleyes:

Thanks for the time guys and gals. most appreciated! :D

I dont see you PSU having any problem with a 8800GTX..

Id be more worried about your cpu bottlenecking the card.. Unless you plan to upgrade that at some point too.

What res do you play at ? If you dont mind me asking.
 
** CPU will be a big bottleneck for that card, if you dont plan on upgrading it i recommend getting the GTS instead as the performance difference will be minimal
 
Sorry, forgot to mention i have a new system (Core2Duo Conroe @3.2Ghz, etc).

I will update my sig now.

Sorry. :(

Thanks for the help! :D

Thanks for the answer! :D
