I think that 600 -800w would eb more than enough, check the Nvidia website for full information but from what ive read from other peoples signatures (with there PC specs on it) should be good around that range 500w im not sure

You should be fine with that PSU and that video card unless you have a ridiculous amount of other things running in your system. I run a heavily overclocked 8800gts 512 (basically a 9800gtx) off a 550W supply.. I have 2 sata hard drives, 2 dvd burners, a high-end sound card, and an overclocked E8400 CPU. I don't see how you would have a problem unless that is a low quality 500W.

Like...uh, ^ he said. You can probably get by with that PSU. I would test that first and then if your system doesn't run, buy something like a 550w or 600w PSU.

It'll be fine unless your 12V rails are terrible or it only delivers 40% peak efficiency.

hell man, runs well on my 450W PSU (it´s the minimum required and I wanted to give it a shot before I started thinking on getting a new PSU).

Also I only have one disc drive and one HDD. But the main point is that the card runs well OCed and all. I have the + version.
