18amps on 12v rail is low for a 8800GT (recommended is 22) at your price point i'd look at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817341012 yes i know that rebates suck

I have to agree with dirt's choice. If you're wanting less than 500 watts check this review out;

This will work well $59 FS. Otherwise, the 600w Stealthstream is excellent for that price.

You need a good PSU with 550W minimum
