| Re: can it handle it? I would recommend atleast a 500w. A 650w would serve you even better.  I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |

| Re: can it handle it? Well, it is a Corsair PSU (good quality), but yeah, what Ty said, at least a 600W, better off with a 650W. Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 + Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme DFI Blood Iron P35-T2RL + Thermalright HR-05 IFX 2GB G.Skill 800MHz F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB Silverstone Decathlon 650W Western Digital 250GB SATA II |

| Modder-ator  | Re: can it handle it? It should be able to handle a single 8800GTS, but anything more than that is pushing it. That Corsair 450W unit only comes with one PCI-Express power connector so that should give you an idea of what market segment this unit is marketed for (no 8800GTX or 2900XT for you).  |

Depending on the rest of the system needs of 12 Volt Power it will work if remaining system needs are low enough. Personally I would look towards the larger version delivering 550 Watts. UK Version is a model CMPSU-550VXUK. Ron  | |
