That PSU will be fine.

Which one? The 350W seasonic or the 580W tagan?

The 7900 GT is faster than the X1800 XT so you don't win a cookie

Ok fair point. mmmmm :confused:

By the looks of that cards heatsink and the high clockspeed im guessing it's going to be very hot and noisy :confused:

Yeah that is a brilliant spec and a lot better than the ones before but he really does'nt want to spend over £600 so I can't go any higher
