Happy but sad day i just got 2 geforce 8800!

[IllusionX]

650w is PLENTY.... There is enough power with a 300w to run a core2duo E6400, 4 ram dimms (dual channel 3gb), 1HD, 1 optical and an ATi HD4870..

i just setup an over kill system with SLI 8800ultra, and at full load, it takes up to 567w only.

spec:
- core2quad extreme QX9775 3.2ghz
- 6x DDR3 dimms
- high end board
- 2x high rpm HDD (aka velociraptor!)
- 1 optical
- 4 fans
- 10% capacitor aging..

+1, go with a 750 if it makes you feel better, but unless you're overclocking and adding in multiple drives, anything more is just a waste.

I rocked a 750 with my old SLI 8800 rig and never ran into any problems. This is with a heavy overclock on an older Core2Duo too.
