9800gtx

Will a 500w psu be powerful enough to cope with this or will i need to stick a more powerful one in?

[N!ck]

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

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.

Or Coolermaster :rolleyes:. The Arctic Power would do easily, but it's up to him what brand he goes for.

It should be, I'm getting a 500W PSU with my new rig and a 9800GTX overclocked. Should be fine.
