Hey, I am a bit new to this forum and AnandTech.com but from what I have seen many people in this community are helpful. So, with that in mind I ask a question concerning my PSU on my full sized Centurion 5 tower. Is my Cooler Master 350w PSU enough to handle a geforce fx6800?
My system specs:
ASUStek P8P800S w/ Pentium 4 2.8Ghz w/ Hyper-Threading technology
512MB of Geil PC3200 (DDR400Mhz)
80 gig MAXTOR 7200 RPM HDD
1 CDRW drive
4 80mm LED fans
One 120mm fan
1 blue cathode light
Cooler Master 350w PSU can be found here:

I was browsing and I found a good deal for the 6800 which was up for like 250 bucks. For my PSU, the specs are +3.3v = 18A, +5v = 25A, +12v = 16A. If I cannot handle the 6800 would I be able to use
the fx5900xt? That is my fallback vid card in case my current PSU cannot handle the 6800. I am hoping to get the 6800 non GT/ULTRA because I want to be able to play games like Rome Total War, Doom 3, HL2, and Battlefield Vietnam without blowing up my wallet.
anyways, thanks to anyone who helps.
