Seasonic 380w with 8800gts?

[Gautama2]

Thinking about picking up this card once it gets to around $300, but can I even hope to run it on my 380w psu? If I can, would the psu still hold up upon overclocking?

A 8800gts for $300??? You are going to be waiting a long time.

You need at least 26 amps on the 12 volt rail for the 8800gts, I think you have 10 amps on 1 rail and 15 amps on the other. If you have only 1 or 2 hardrives I think you'll be fine.

I suspect it will be $300 in 6-8 months. And yes, you should be fine with your PS.
