Looks to be a much better card than the 9500 - a jump up from the 9600 as well. It should work fine with your 650 watt power supply. I'd guess with everything in your PC maxed out, you'd still be under 600 watts. Maybe I'm just not an NVidia fan - but I'd still look at the ATI 4850 instead of the NVidia 9800. Some may disagree, but I think Tom's hardware generally does a pretty good ranking of cards. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...rd,2387-3.html I listed two cards up in post 18 that I'd go with instead of the 9800 GT. If you really like Nvidia, then I'd gow with http://www.amazon.co.uk/PALIT-896MB-...1988411&sr=1-4, but to me it's more expensive than the 1GB 4870 and performs slightly less,

If you wanted to give youself some more headroom for future expansion you could always upgrade to 700 or 750 watts, but it's really not necessary. Still, if it's $5-$10 more it may be worth it. But if they want $50 to go from 650 to 700 watts, then don't bother. Really depends who you're ordering from I guess.
