That would run that game without a hitch, I believe. Don't get Ultra brand products...lol...especially with PSUs. Get the OCZ 600W, because 800W is too much power for your system. Also get DDR2-800 ram, because it's not that much more money, than DDR2-667.
Heres the PSU, I suggested: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341001

where to begin....get cheap DDR2-800 G.Skill memory as 667 just won't overclock enough and it's more future proof. then 800w's is OVERKILL. You will only need 500 or 550 to be fine. That Mobo is still buggy honestly for the price.

alright. im in westchester county. and i think ive switched to TT Toughpower 750-watt PSU, since it is a modular. (somewhat. lol) Also, 800 isnt overkill, cause not only do i need the wattage, but i need the amperage, and 550 usually doesnt give me that. any other recommendations on a MODULAR Psu?

wait you mean you cant find an a 550w PSU to run an 8800GTX? Umm a 400w FPS and TT Toughpower have been tested to run an 8800GTX. They usually have 18 amps on the dual rails which is 36. The card requires 30.

54 amps on the 12v rail, 550 watts - Not modular, however http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139001
that's my recommendation for modular
