Just got a new 8800gt OC and was wondering if my antec true 480 2.0 is up to the task. Here are the specs of the psu (my specs are in my sig):

+3.3v +5v +12v1 +12v2 +5v SB -12v
Max. Load 30.0A* 38A* 18A* 18A 2.0A 1.0A
Min. Load 0.5A 0.5 0.4A 0.4A 0A 0A
Load Reg. ? ? ? 3% ? ?
Ripple V(p-p) 50mV 50mV 120mV 120mV 50mV 120m
 
Well, I run a 8800gt @ 756/1850/999, with a q6600@3.4ghz 1.35vcore, 4x1 gb ram, 5 case fans, 2 hd, and my kill-a-watt has never measured more than 360watts at the wall, so I think you should be fine. My ps is a corsair 520hx. I was actually using a 750watt zumax for awhile but it was way to loud. I really love corsair power supplies, if you do upgrade I would definitely recommend one of these.
