worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Feb 29, 2008 #13 OK, well I'm not sure where they're getting it from, but the 12V rail carries enough power for an 8600GT. Pretty much any GDDR3 model will do, I like the one zKILLA linked to.

worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Feb 29, 2008 #15 What do you call a bad ass GPU? An 8800GT? Or a Crossfire or SLI setup? An 8800GT and your rig could be powered by something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341012 Or this if you've got a bit more money to spend and you want something of a bit higher quality and some power in reserve: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151030
