Psu for 8800gs

[tabaysito]

i need some quick help, i noticed that my 8800gs card is not working at 100% because is not getting enoght power.. so, i am going to buy a new psu JUST FOR THE CARD... i am not going to plug others things on it.. a new psu just for the card... what kind of psu do i need?

500w? and how much v in the rail +12v do i need?

note: i unpluged (from the psu) one hard drive and one fan from the case and i did noticed a HUGE inprovement of fps... from 42fps to 55fps without the fan cooler and from 55 to 60 without the hard driver (in dmc4) ... hope u help me

huh? so you're going to run a SECOND PSU just for the 8800GS? are you INSANE? the entire system could run EASILY on a 300W PSU.

An 8800GS doesn't need that much power as to buy a dedicated PSU. I say get a new PSU with at least 450W from Corsair, PC Power & Cooling or other good brands.

im a real big fan of corsair if u want something cheap and good id get the psu horhe said. But i always go for a little futureproofability, if ur willing to spend a little over $100 get the 650 watt: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005 it comes with free shipping and a $20 mail in rebate.
