@Liqu1d82 Make sure that you have least 30A on the +5V line as the bare minimum, just to be safe. Ideally would be a mint/new Enermax Noisetaker/Whisper series (for example EG-365/395/465/475 VE) if you could find one. Newer PSUs tend to have less in the +5V line. You can check this thread for a …

A modern (as in brand new) and high-quality, 400-600W unit should be more than enough for anything you'd want to install in this machine (including the 6800GT). I'd look at models from Enermax, Antec, PC Power & Cooling, or Seasonic/Corsair. I've heard good things about some of the XFX and EVGA …
