Hi all, Im new to the forum and have a problem thats really doing my head in

A while ago i bought a new graphics card, A bfg 8800gts 320mb
http://peripherals.about.com/od/vi [...] soc320.htm

This is my power supply
http://www.xcase.co.uk/p/298090/wi [...] -sli-.html

Is that power supply enough to run that card or will i just fry it if i plugged it in?

Also on a side note my card is a 320mb but my pc is stating that its a 640
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance guys and gals

Bfg 8800gts (ati 1600pro plugged in at the minute)
Winpower 700watt power supply

I've never heard of this brand of Power Supply.

That said, a quality PSU of 550W with 40Amps on the 12V rail will handle your system easily.
