I currently have a 7600Gt with my AMD X2 3800 @ 2.2Ghz with 2 gigs of Ram. My questions are:

Will my PSU be able to handle a 8800Gt?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817148008

Will my CPU bottleneck a 8800gt?
-If so can you recommend a good Cooler for additional OC?

Oh, and I have a ASUS A8N-SLi Premium.

Thanks for the help guys.

Aspires are terrible PSU's but it has enough amperage (unless they overestimated).

So the CPU will not bottleneck the Graphics card correct?

An 8800 GT will run just fine on only a 400 W PSU if you aren't going SLI and you have just one HDD.
