8800GTX with which lowest PSU used

[Thor86]

Think the ol' OCZ Powerstream 520watt is good enough?

If I'm going to shell out that kind of dough for this card, I don't want to get another PSU.

Depends on your processor, motherboard, ram, optical and hard drive count along with overclocking needs.

Gary hit the hammer on the nail.

Personally, I have that same PSU in my current X2 system and I upgraded for my 8800GTX setup that I'm buiding once all the parts arrive.

Yeah, if its a simple gaming rig with cpu, mobo, case w/2-4 fans, sound card, one cd/dvd drive, floppy drive, single hard drive, and monitor (CRT or LCD), then you are probably going to be fine if it provides up to 30a total. Any more than that may want to consider a good 600w unit to play it safe.
