What brand is the PSU? If it's a default/generic one then i'd recomment getting a better one for the 9800GTX.

So something like that?
Yes, something like the one you posted, or a better brand but lower power rating like this. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/116522
mmm.. the first one is better calue
It'll be fine, get a nice branded one. You don't really need to be buying a 700w PSU for that though, save yourself abit of cash.
Get a DECENT BRAND PSU fgs
none of this artic power or whatever crap you want, get corsair or OCZ if your getting off ebuyer.
It should be, I'm getting a 500W PSU with my new rig and a 9800GTX overclocked. Should be fine.
