Hi fellas. I was just wondering if this 300W would juice a 9800GT Eco (uses less then 70W's) along side a Q8200 and 4GB DDR2 (2x2GB,) The motherboard in question is a Gigabyte G31.

I'm building a custom case for a friend, he wants it to be the same size as the Xbox 360, so far everythings in apart from a custom PSU. There are a few, but my concern is if it will power it or not. Someone suggested in another thread that my 305W Dell PSU would be fine with this GPU...

Any ideas?

------------------------------ CPU: Pentium 4 641 - 3.2Ghz - Hyper Threading - 2MB Cache - 800Mhz FSB - 65nm
RAM: 2GB DDR2 Dell 800Mhz
GPU: 8600GTS 256MB GDDR3
HDD: 160GB Maxtor Sata II 7,200RPM

Your 305 watt Dell psu has 22 amps of power available to the 12v rails, the unit you linked to has 9 amps available to the 12 v rail, ain't gonna work.
