I know that's a good PSU but don't you think with the OP's 8800 & cathode led light (+ plans for any future upgrades) it would be cutting it low?

I believe the psu will be fine, looking at reviews of the card when tested with relative high end systems at the time were pulling 231w when under load, also checking a psu cal they recommend 356w psu - yes this is a rough guide

When I was running my i7 with crossfire 5850 gpu's this only pulled 430w full load from the mains.

But if the op is looking at a good upgrade in the future I will agree the PSU may struggle.

Standard OCZ based on FSP Epsilon with generic cheap Chinese crap capacitors whose longer than couple years reliability is as good as that of long term weather forecasts.
