I have a 8800gtx. I was wondering if 600 watts is good enought for this card and an amd phenom II 965 black edition.

Thanks for you time

If the 600w has 25A+ on the 12v rail you should be fine. You could get away with a good 550w psu too http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016&cm_re=550w_psu-_-17-371-016-_-Product

Should be perfectly fine tbh. I'm running a 8800GTS 640MB on a 400watt PSU. 600 Watt is enough for most non-SLI/Crossfire setups atm.
