oh don't get the 8800GT 256mb... get the 8800GS instead...performs much better for the same price.

You don't need more than 450W for that build...get the Corsair 450VX.

Are you sure you do not have :
another HDD
Drives
Sound card or any other card
Cooling fans
Get 550W and you'll be a little bit on safe side
But remember do not ever add another graphic card to your setup
