Hi, first time posting here!

I'll get straight to the point, this is what I want: eVGA e-GeForce 8800 GT Superclocked Edition 512MB

http://www.amazon.com/e-GeForce-Su [...] 657&sr=8-6

I like to know if my Power Supply of 400 Watts can handle it? I don't have a super CPU or anything.

I have Pentium D 3.00 GHz with 2 GB of ram. Please advise.

Cheers

Pending on who makes the PSU, yes. What's the amperage on your 12 Volt rail/s? Who makes your PSU? :)

400-450w recommended
Most important-26 amps on the 12v

I just got the same one myself.

I have an Antec TruePower II 550W PSU. My 12V rails are only 19A. Do I need to upgrade if I'm going from the 7950GT to the 800GT?

(Rails) - as in 2 @ 19A's? If so, you'l probably be OK.

You should look for a "combined 12V rating".
