|  good PSU for 8800gts? Is this a good PSU? I have a XION II PC case and it has 450w psu and i doubt it has 12v with 30a which is required on the card. so, is this a good psu for an GeForce 8800? Corsair VX550W 550W ATX Power Supply - SLI-Ready, SATA-Ready CMPSU-550VX at TigerDirect.com My Specs: x1600pro 512mb (getting 8800 soon) KN8 SLI AMD 64bit 3200+ 2gb |

   |  Re: good PSU for 8800gts? More than enough. If you wanted to, you could buy a 450 watt Fortron and it would still be fine, but you do want to leave room for upgrades.

| Re: good PSU for 8800gts? the 550 vx is cheaper than the 520hx. The 520 is modular and dual rail, while the 550 is nonmodular and single rail. But i use a 520 with quad core and dual GTS 512's, so yes.
