Will I have a problem running a 7800GT on this system?

[Scott78945]

I am running a P4 3.oghz w/ HT with 1 gig ram. I will need a new PSU to rund this badboy so I will need suggestions. I am currently running on the intergrated and it is obviously not that great. I have found a way that I can get the XFX 7800GT for about $275 after some tweaking with coupons. I know this is a KILLER deal so I want to be sure that I can run this before. The $275 doesn't take into account the copy of COD2 either so if you consider that then this is costing me about $225. Thanks all. Don't worry, I will post how to get it for $275 after I order mine.

nah as long as you have a pci-e slot and about 26a-36a or so on the power supplies +12v rail your good to go

Any suggestions on a good PSU? I do have one PCI-E 16 avail.

OCZ Modstream 520w 26a +12v $108.99

SILVERSTONE 560w 38a +12v $137.99

RoseWill 550w dual +12v(18a+18a) $68.99

any of these would do the job nicely,..the modstream has a charm you cant deny,..the silverstone is a powerhouse monster,..and the rosewill is for the wallet consious

All I can say is I like my Modstream 520W and my Powerstream 520W. They have proven very stable, and not given me any troubles. All voltages are stable. Both are good PSUs. The Modstream is the most silent one, and it's cables tend to be too short if you have a large case, and are rather stiff due to casing. But since they are detachable, you can make your own to solve those problems.

I'd go with the OCZ Powerstream out of those choices.
