The general rule of thumg is that a high quality 500 - 550 watt power supply can handle any single video card made. A single 9800GT does not use very much power. The rest of your sytem doesn't use much power either. A high quality 500 watt power supply is sufficient.

Here's a link to a technical review of the OCZ StealthXstream 500 watt power supply:
