More Information

I'm curious as to what power supply is recommended with this board.

Currently my board won't stay powered on with my Antec Neo 500watt with my 8800GTS 640MB card installed. It does stay powered on with some cheap PCIe card.

My only assumption is the board/card is using more power than my PSU can dish out. I have only cpu, 1 stick of RAM, and the video card in at these times.

I can install windows with the cheap card in, but of course I'm trying to game so that does me no good. Any suggestions on what PSU would be more than enough for this setup?

AMD x2 4400+ / 2GB Kingston HyperX / 8800GTS 640MB / 2x 80GB SATA (raid) / Creative XFi Platinum Sound card / DVD Burner

P.S. - Thinking of upgrading to this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139006

I just relized that the Antec Neo's had problems with this board (yes I have that particualr model.)
