Will I have enough power?

[Wence]

I just bought this computer, and I'll be putting an 8800GT in it. The PSU is comes with is only 350 watts...Will that be enough? How much would what I need cost if not?

No you will need a new PSU. If you are lucky the system will be able to accommodate a standard ATX PSU. But there is a good chance it holds a PSU that is closer to the mATX size. If thats the case then you may need to get a new case for the system. For the PSU alone you can expect to spend as little as $60 or as much as $160. It all depends on what deals you can find. You will want a good quality 450W PSU or better. Something along the lines of the Corsair VX450 which offers 33A on the 12V rail will be perfect. As long as its a good quality unit and can provide more then 28A on the 12v rail(s) you will be fine.

The Corsair looks good! And so does the price. I can't actually afford the 8800GT till next Friday, so I'll order this along with it. Thanks a lot.
