You're probably going to get some recommendations for a different psu. Rosewill psu's aren't bad. I have a 400w for my net rig. But for what you're paying for the 750w...

This is plenty of power for your 8800gtx, even when you have a q6600 overclocked and a couple of HD's etc: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...E16817139004&Tpk=550vx If you want a little more overkill, get this one instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817171014

Heres a review of the 750/850w rosewill unit btw: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modul...iews&op=Story4&reid=60 which is basicaly the same unit you are considering, scroll down to see the scores for the 750w unit. It ain't bad, actually a little surprised here, and I suppose you can't really go wrong for 100$. In fact, yesterday I looked for a better unit then the corsair 550vx, but for under 120$ it was really hard to find a higher wattage unit of the same qaulity, but I guess the rosewill is one of them.

And, you will find 4 pci-e connectors, they just go into the back of the card, it will be self explanatory, so don't worry about it.

I don't have personal experience with the case, but considering it's close to the most popular case on the market, something like the 8800GTX not fitting probably would have caused a stir by now. I'm 99% sure it will fit just fine.

It's a tight fit, and I'm not entirely sure it'll work if you have hard drives mounted in the upper hard drive rack; you may have to transfer them to the bottom hard drive rack and remove the upper hard drive rack for it to fit.

I would go for the PCPower&Cooling 750 Silencer quad over that Rosewill PSU any day. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817341011 The cost is the same before the rebate, and that is probably the best PSU you will find for $150. The Rosewill may not be bad, but they haven't quite proven themselves to make a solid product consistently IMO, like PCP&C has.

The GTX should fit in the 900...

btw... just a bit of advise... You really shouldn't do what you've done with this thread. Earlier the the first post was about a GTX and a PSU, now it's about a GTX and an Antec case... It makes the thread very confusing to anyone who stepped in after the first post was changed because it looks like everyone is answering the question incorrectly. Just add your new question as a new post in the thread or if the new question is completely off topic, start a new thread.

Channel Well OEM, usually nothing much wrong with those. I think I'd rather have the Corsair 620hx though. Why are we considering these high-end units btw ? For your gtx the 550vx will still be plenty of power, http://www.newegg.com/Product/...E16817139004&Tpk=550vx and surely a lot cheaper. If you want modular, consider the 520hx which can be had for less then 100$ AR.

Actually they have tested 8800 GTX SLI with BeQuiet Straight Power 450W and it worked. Though other parts of that computer weren't the most power consumpting components out there.
------

For thread starter: Go with the Corsair! Those PSUs are made by Seasonic and uses Seasonic engine..with smaller price tag and few updates.

Will there be enough space to fit in the BFG 8800 GTX?

To answer your question about your card fitting: Yes it should. I have a Palit 8800GT Super+ 1GB card and and Antec 900 case and it fits with a little room to spare. I even have a fan in the drive cage at the end of the card. I believe the GTs and The GTXs have the same length PCBs
