PSU for a e-GeForce 8800GTS

QtoTheBall · 03-12-2008, 06:25 PM

I'm buying this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130325 and I know I need a new power supply for it. Anyone that could point me to a good powersupply that would run this card would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Please post your system specs. Depending on your other hardware I recommend a 600watts power supply or above. Good brands include Antec, Pc-Power Cooling, and Thermaltake.
