Default antec psu

Is the antec truepower trio a good psu for a gaming rig?
How does it goes along with the G92 8800GTS gpu?

The TruePower's are our tightest power supplies. Their voltage regulation is +/-3%, as opposed to most power supplies that are +/-5%. As far as the GPU, it is a matter of amperage, and the Trio will handle it quite easily.

A 550 or 650 would run cool and quiet. You may not need that much, however. Do an inventory of everything in your computer on a Wattage Calculator at

I love my Antec True Power Trio 650, however its a suspect of possibly causing problems with my 8800GT. Aparently the 850w and 1000w quatro have been causing problems with some graphic cards like the 8800GTX and 8800GT.

Problem shows poor performance and low power warnings causing the cards to be under powered. Results show previous 8800GTS 320 scores of 10k 3d06 and with the 8800GT 1103 3d06 a drop of nearly 10k points.
