I wouldn't use it. 180W max on the two 12V rails combined... mmm... not what I'd use in a gaming system. And it's not a brand I'd have confidence in its quality level, either.

Your video card alone can pull 80W at its end of the supply chain under full load, and add some overhead to that. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/geforce7900gtx_6.html Maybe ~100W effectively from the PSU's viewpoint? Yeah, I'd pair that rig up with something you can have confidence in.

I could, but it will attract brand-specific PSU fanboys galore if I do :evil: What's your $$$ budget for the PSU?

I'm getting that it is an MGE supply, is this correct? Between that and the uninspiring 12 V ratings, I'd say trash it.

I like these supplies. The OCZ Powerstream is good if that floats your boat. If you want a blanket recommendation: Fortron, Seasonic, Xclio.

A Zippy 460w is my preferred brand and model. But Fortron, Seasonic, PC&C, among others are good choices.

it would probably destroy itself if it won't already have a chance to blow the rest of your components away..

definetly sounds like you might wanna upgrade
