[Taz2010]

i am upgrading to a Evga 680i and a SINGLE 8800gt(specs in sig) i have a 580watt PSU at the moment...however i was reading that it would take 36Amps for 8800gt SLI...that would mean buying a $200 PSU... is this true or would something like this work:http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=273512&prodlist=bizrate

What brand have you currently got? the 8800GT's dont use as much power as you think

Your current PSU only has 25 amps on the 12v line. Here are the expert's recommendations

on the other hand if you are really a serious gamer and will be running 8800 SLI, then you need one of these
