You don't need anymore than a 600W psu for that.

That PSU is a bit much as well.

Yeah, you're fine but you might not want a IDE cd/dvd drive, unless you have the rounded cord.

I'm no GPU fanboy, but I could be a brand fanboy. Try get something other than a Zotac, I just went into a newegg page of their gtx 275, and I already saw a review of 1 egg + description how horrid the customer service is. Try get XFX, EVGA, BFG, or ASUS.

It just matters if the item is DOA or not. Newegg is notorious for having a ton of RMA services.

I'd rather get a GTX 260 with 5-egg rating and with tons of good reviews rather than a GTX 275 with a bad rating + tons of complaints about customer service. And read my post again, I'm talking about their customer service. [quote= Newegg customer dude]Cons: I have only had this card for about 3 months before it died. Tech support is very poor. It is difficult to get through to a live person. When calling tech support I was automatically placed on hold then their automated phone system would hang up on me. It took me several days of calling until I finally was able to talk to a real person. The tech support person was not very friendly. I sent them the card over a month and have yet to receive my warranty replacement video card. [/quote] But whatever floats your boat OP, buy that ZOTAC if you wanna. But when it comes to parts, I'd really recommend a big brand name. I mean, would you order a rocketfish 750w or a Corsair 750w?
