PSU Advice

[Row_Bot]

Hi,

I am looking to get a 8800GT graphics card, but my current PSU is only 500w. Will this be good enough? My current PSU is a FSP Blue Storm which seems pretty decent & I'd like to keep it if possible.

My system seems to have a lot of stuff that needs power:
- ABIT nforce KN9S motherboard
- AMD 5200+ dual core with Akasa Evo heat sink
- 4Gb OCZ RAM
- 1x WD 10,000rpm SATA hard drive
- 2x WD 7200 rpm SATA hard drives
- 1x SATA DVD-RW
- 2x 120mm fans
- fan controller
- 3x cathode lights

Am thinking about getting the OCZ StealthXStream 600w power supply, but any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

The 500W will easily be enough.

Yes your PSU will do fine

That will be OK.

cool, thanks for the help. I was freaking out about having to spend more cash on upgrading.
