What kind of power supply do i need?

Min a quality brand 700watt and up should perform well...

I would personaly recommend an antect trio 650, thats my favorite for that set up and what I am using.

I also used antec true power 550 watts for all other systems since that psu came out, it is a tank and will not let you down.

zalman and fortron also have had good psu's.

I am a little dated, 2 or 3 yrs out of the loop, however I stand by my recommendation and I did just order and recieve my trio 650 to run a very similair set up.
(x6800+p5k+8800gtx)
Now here on Toms you can find some reviews for the psu's and read up for yourself and see.

You need good power though as I had learned in the past burning hard discs and failing whole systems.

The only Antec that ever quite on me was due to a very clogged fan on the unit that I never noticed or cleaned and eventualy it stopped working, in time the heat killed it, good news is Antec rma'd it with no trouble and over a year later that psu still runs my p4p 800 fsb system.

Good luck,
Lump
