Power Supply Compatibility

I have Enermax 600W SLI power supply.

http://www.enermax.com/english/product_Display1.asp?PrID=24

I want to know that does this powersupply will work fine if these components are used.

The components detail is two (MSI) Geforce 8800GTX Graphic cards, (BFG tech) nForce680i motherboard, (Intel) X6800 core2Duo Processor, (Corsair) Dominator TWIN2X2048-6400C4D* memory, (westerndigital) Raptor X Hard disk, (Creative) Xi-Fi Fatality1 sound card and DVD writer and Combo drive.


Also findings of my friend,

"Ok I just looked at your PSU and it says its got only 18A running through the 12V1 (meaning its only got 18 Amps maximum current running through the 12V) . A 7900GTX requires a minimum of 24A so your already abit off. And aparently the 8800GTX needs a minimum of 40A-50A "

He suggested me to buy Corsair 620W powersupply.

Is Corsair powersupply is better then mine Enermax Coolergiant 600W?

kindly tell me in detail.

The GTX consume about 260 watts each full load.

Prehaps your friend recommended the Corsair because it has an
additional 12v (12V3) line, which would be of help in your case.
