Well I was wondering if my PSU was up to the task of powering this old beast. I recently traded my old X1600pro for this card but forgot about the PSU requirements because of the great deal.

My PSU is the Hipro True 400w PSU with 2 12v rails at 14a and 13a.

It was able to power my 6800xt when I hard it but I am not sure how much more power the GTX requires. If it wont power it, any recommendations on the cheapest PSU that will run it safely and also fit in my Xion mid tower ATX case? The case is the cheap green LED lit one of newegg that usually is around $40 with free shipping.

My other specs are in my sig.

That is a crap PSU indeed, but it will power your 7800 GTX with no problems, the card is using roughly 80W from it . So with that celeron, your PSU is more then enough.

Well I plan on overclocking the celeron quite a bit. I am getting paid saturday so what is a good PSU for under $65 before rebate? Are there any modular ones in that price range by chance?
