Considering an 8800GT

[Oberon]

Alright,

I've been holding off for a while now, but I've got £500 lying around and Im still using an old 6600GT and really want to play The Witcher, M2TW, HL2EP2 etc at really good graphical quality settings.

But I need to know if my current 460W PSU is capable of Powering it, and if my case is big enough to house it. It can fit a full size ATX Motherboard, in this case an A8N-SLI. I wouldn't imagine it would be any wider than the motherboard, so Im assuming it will be alright right now, but would like a second opinion.

Cheers.

Do you know what make and model your PSU is? It would be really helpful.

The 8800GT is ideal for the games you listed though. Should be able to max them out with plenty of antialiasing, and it even does an admirable job of playing Crysis on all high if that takes your fancy.

It's an Akasa Pax Power 460W PSU.

Sound good?.

It'll probably be fine, the 8800GT is not as bad as the previous cards in regards to power usage
And it's a fantastic card, great price in comparison to the other stuff out there, and really great performance

I had that exact same PSU, you will have no problem.

You could run a GTX on that.
