    Looking for a power supply
    Hey guys, I'm looking for a power supply that can supply this card and my desktop.

    Card : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500301

    My comp's got two fans.
    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83Ghz (x4)

    Im not very knowledgable on this stuff, so if you have any suggestions or I missed something that would help, please let me know.

    You didn't provide everything necessary, but 650W and up should do it for you.

    Thanks for the advice, what else should I provide?

    Thanks, but I'll pass for now. Want to look at all of my options before I buy.

    Ram, motherboard, optical drive.

    Its also a good idea to include any hardware upgrades you're planning in the near future (if any).

    Looking for a power supply
    I'd recommend getting a reputable brand such as Corsair or Seasonic for PSU's. For this system, I'd recommend the XFX 550W (another reputable brand for PSU's).

    500ish watts should be good.

    Do you want modular cables?

    Ya, if I'm correct on what modular cables are, I need a 6Pin and an 8Pin just for the gfx card itself

    Ya, I'm probably going to get a corsair

    Looking for a power supply
    long as the power supply gives out about 30-40 amps on the 12v rail, you're fine. even some 400w power supplies can do this, they'll just get pretty hot under load.
