Will a ThermalTake PurePower 500-Watt PSU support EVGA GeForce 8800 GT Video Card - Dual Slot, 512M?

I am wondering if The ThermalTake power supply will have the right amps to support the geforce 8800gt dual slot video card. The recommended combined 12v amp rating is supposed to be 28amps.|||The guy above me doesn't know what he's talking about: 800watts? Are you kidding me. The 8800GT requires 110 watts at max load. A 500 watt PSU with multiple 12v rails is sufficient.



I'm running two 8800GTS's in SLI with a 600 watt PSU and these cards require 150 a piece at max load.|||sounds fine, I'm running an 8800gs on a 500 watt with no problems, your PSU will perform fine.|||If you want to be on the safe side-go to this link and fill out the form-but don't forget anything.He will tell you how many Watts you need.

But a 800Watt PSU will do.A 8800 uses about 143 Watts.
