I would love to get an 8800GT for my system just for some extra performance.

Here are my current parts, minus graphics card (8600GT):

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1GB PC3200 RAM
200GB Sata HDD
1 DVD-DL Drive
Generic sound card

Could I get away with putting an 8800GT in there with this PSU

The recommended 12V Rail is 26 Amps, but I was just wondering if I could get away with this because my system isn't really a power hog...
 
Should work no problem, I was surprised when I put my new 9800 GTX+ in with a 480W that only pushed 15W on the 12 v rail and it runs just fine.

I would invest in more RAM, but in about a month my friend is giving me these parts:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
Asus motherboard that goes with it
1GB DDR2 RAM

So there is no point in it, seeing as it would be useless in a little while.
 
PC3200 is 533mhz clocked ram right? Cause thats DDR2 not DDR. Most boards support anything between 533mhz ram and 800mhz. So it would be worth getting another gig of PC3200 ram. By the time you get your parts from your friend you should be able to stick your ram right in without much worries.
