EVGA 8800 GTX

[NachT]

Sorry about making another 8800 post, didn't want to hijack the others.

I might be getting this card when it comes out. I was going to fit the 8800 water block to it and noticed the fan / HS is kind'a built into the card, the metal bracket is just one big bracket.

How hard would it be to take all that off the card? And i'd have to leave the bracket like that yeah?

It comes off in one lump.

sounds easy, thanks

Would a 620W PSU power this card along with a C2D chip? and 3 HDD's.

That depends on the PSU. Don't go by the wattage. Just make sure it has more than about 30A on the combined 12v rail.

It is the corsair 620W one I was looking at.

Kool i'm chuffed that'l be ok with those components, the PSU has had nothing but good feedback

That's one of the most powerful in the price range. Can't go wrong with that.

Hi, you need to reduce your sig to 4 lines, otherwise the moderators of the boards will remove your sig, its abit silly I know but those are the rules.

Also consider that you need two PCI-Express power cables for the 8800GTX when making your PSU choice.
