i think you need at least 35 Volts, good luck

You're going to want a 500W PSU. At least.

OH NOES!!! Someone will move this to the PC section soon!!!

And no... 300 Watts is not enough...

650W = Recommended. Trust me, I have the same system you have only 4 GB of Ram and a 8800GTS video card.

Man even more then that.

Dude your getting a quad core processor, and an 8 series video card. Hell that card alone probably needs somewhere aroung 500watts its self. I say, especially with that processor just go up and get a 1k watt PSU and be safe...but there is no way in hell that a 300 watt one will even power that video card.

Holy crap it's Ralph!

So you went with a quad core, but got an 8600?

That make no sense at all...

According to the Specs requirements for that card, a 350W would power a "normal" computer with this video card... but with everything he's getting, 650W should be what he needs to not have to worry!

LOL. 1k for that? What a waste.

I'd recommend anywhere from 600-750 PSU. That'll hold you off fine.
