I guess the 550W would be sufficient for now. But i prefer to always look to the future a little.
550W is the bare minimum you should be running for a PSU these days if you're building a heavy duty gaming rig. Hence why i went for a 650W power supply. I got the Antec 650W on that list a few posts above.

Obviosuly not as good as the first list you had, but still a good setup.

Are you still getting an 8800GT? One thing you will really need to look into, is that the 8800GT is a VERY large graphics card, slightly smaller than the GTX but still huge. It will only fit into certain cases. It barely just fits into my Antec 900 case (and thats a specified gaming case).

I have doubts it will fit into that case you have suggested..but look into it.

EDIT: In saying that, im assuming you're building the PC yourself..which you probably arnt..in that case it shoudnt be too much of a prob, they will just notify you if they run into that problem and you can just choose a new case.

naw, i'm not getting any psu now. just using the one that's gonna be in the case which is the 500w thingo.

Also dude i'd be really nervous with that 500W PSU..the hardware these days plus the cases use tones more power than they use to.

As you're obviously going for a gaming machine..i wouldnt even recommend anything lower than 550W as we discussed a few posts above..but 550W should just be passable..with 500W you will really be walking a very very thin line in terms of power..

If you (or your old man in this case) dont have the funds to get the necessary hardware..i suggest waiting a bit. Dont rush in now just because you are keen to play Crysis or something like that..it will be worth it in the long run to get the proper hardware you need.

Never heard of Apacer..to be honest you'll generally find most people will recommend Corsair, Kingston or Geil branded RAM as they are pretty much the best.

But it looks like MSY dont stock their brands in the 800mhz which sucks.
