Hello,
I am building my new system and want to keep the cost as low as possible.
My current Power Supply is of 350 Watt. [Actually I am going to build a new system with Power Supply and Monitor and Cabinet Already bought].
Monitor Resolution 1280 by 768 [Gaming resolution - 800 by 600]
Processor - AMD FX 8350
RAM 4gb DDR3 Corsair.

Isn't there any way to run this whole system on this much Power Supply ???

No, definitely not with a FX-8350. Look at 500W-600W.

Don't u think that the GTX 660 is an overkill to that resolution. Which will be the best GFX Card for 800 by 600 [Only wanted to play Railwork 3 Train Sim @ Medium Settings - Want smooth FPS]. Will a Radeon 7750 Suffice ? It is not power hungry also. What do u think ?

The reference GPU draws up to 140w, with a recommended 450w system supply. I don't know if you can make the numbers potentially stack up to less than 350w for everything, but I wouldn't even try it, it's too expensive if it all goes wrong!

consider a drop to a GDDR5 version of a 640?

I have one in this machine (mainly for multi-monitor and some after-work gaming), tiny power consumption, quiet and perfectly quick enough for what you describe (to be honest anything would play at 800x600, but a 640 gives you some horsepower should you move to other things)

An hd7750 should run your game just fine and be alright on that PSU.
