BFG Tech BFGR1000WPSU ATX 12V 2.2/EPS 12V 2.91 1000W Power Supply - Retail Item #: N82E168177020052. BFG Technologies PC System PowerSupply 1000 Watt Power Supply - Product Number: 342098 - Mfr. Part #: BFGR1000WPSU - Brand: BFG Technologies Power Supplies this one is from Compusa I don't know if it is the same as the above that one is from newegg. Could those power supplies be too much? Or would something like the following be enough?OCZ GameXStream 700-Watt Power SupplyThe SLI-Ready GameXStream 700 Watt power. Happy Landings, Josh
February 5, 200719 yr I don't have experience with either of those power supplies but any one of them should power that system with a single 8800gtx. If you plan to ever get a 2nd 8800....I'd make sure you get a 1kw ps.I run the enermax galaxy 1000w and it's great. Kinda expensive @ $349 from Newegg but lots of great reviews. That BFGTech you listed looks like they are both the same Power Supply.

February 5, 200719 yr Banks, Thank Ya Sir... How do you like that setup you currently have? Can you pretty much throw anything at her for the time being? Well except for FSX ;) Just out of curiousity how does she handle fsx? Especially with that GTX. Oh are you pretty happy with that Motherboard? Thanks Again, Josh

February 5, 200719 yr I bought the one listed below and there is no problem with that combo. The 1000W Enermax was too expensive and also will not fit in my case without surgery. Regards Howard H D Isaacs
February 5, 200719 yr So far so good with my new rig. Overclocking with this board is way too easy. I have an overkill watercooling setup (black ice extreme quad radiator with 4 silent 10 dba fans)Saving $620 vs buying the x6800 was a great decision as my chip now destroys the x6800 @ stock speeds with still more headroom as I'm only running 1.48 volts through the chip and am already at 3.8ghz which is running 24 hours of FSX stable lol :)I run FSX Medium-High all screens and frames are 15-30 locked 30 anywhere I go. @ 3840x1024 resolution I am considering running another 8800gtx in sli but waiting on more experience from others in doing so. FSX loves CPU so do what you can to feed it!Good luck on your build!

February 6, 200719 yr 1KW is insane unless you have money to waste.The 700w from OCZ is plenty enough even if you were to go with another 8800 (useless for fsx anyway) FYI, Your system at full load will probably use between 250 and 300w.Of course if overclocking the power consumption will rise.
