This pretty much nails the budget, your existing PSU should be fine for the system, if you have any doubts though I could re-jig and fit a decent unit in instead.

Can't go wrong with specs above,spot on semi-pro waster

cheers for the reply, are you sure that my psu will still be ok with this? i didnt think it supported pci express

Monkeynut · 27 Feb 2008 at 20:19

If it doesn't there should be an adapter in the box

Mack08 · 27 Feb 2008 at 20:23

Looks like im gonna need a new one then coz I've had it over 3 yrs and have no long got the box for it, what do the connectors look like for the intel / pci express spec above?

Most cards come with one. The PSU should be more than capable of running an 8800gt.

I meant it comes in the 8800GT's box.
