Gainward 8800 GT + 400W PSU?

[SpartanMK3]

Hello everyone, recently I decided to purchase a Gainward GeForce8800GT and replace my Sapphire Radeon HD3650 with it. I have a 400W Psu with specs posted on the photo



My overall system Specs are

AMD Phenom X4 9550 Quad Core 2.2 GHZ (1800 Mhz HT LINK)
3 GB DDR 2 RAM - 667 MHZ
640 GB SATA HD
DVD RW Single drive
ATI Radeon HD3650
Fortron PSU - 400 W

So what do u think guys, can I stick with my current PSU and add the GF 8800 GT or shall I change my PSU??

I would recommend getting a new PSU, especially if your current one has been use for a year or more.

yeah 8800 gt needs 26 amps on the 12v rail . and a minimum of 400 watt psu i would upgrade to a 500 watt antec or ocz psu.

The 4830 is similar to the 8800 in performance, but is slightly cheeper last time I checked, and 4770 is turning out to be a great card too, one I would look into, but 8800 isn't bad either.
