Something more Nvidia then GT8800 :D

I will post back after I get it and let you know how it goes. Thank you very much Aastii and Joh06937 for your help.
 
Even though coolermaster power supplies aren't the best, they aren't all that bad, and should be able to handle it just fine

eh, it is cutting it pretty close though. his offers 32 amps (16 on each rail) which means he is left with about 8 amps for the rest of his system (excluding cpu and gpu) and that is assuming it can deliver the full 16 amps on each rail.
 
oh never mind then. i was assuming you were using something like a 150w cpu (yours is 105w :P). you should be totally fine then.

don't worry about not understanding or being new to this stuff. we all start there :)
 
So I'm good at getting that card and should be okay? :P What is 105w? :O I got the data from CPU-Z program, tells me about my system quickly. :)

yep, you should be fine.

the 105w is how much power your cpu (processor) will draw while being used (maximum). basically, you divide the max wattage by 12 (for volts) to get the amps it will draw from the psu. you then add the amount the gpu will draw (in this case 160w) and then add a little more for the other components and compare that to the rated max for the psu (but never cutting too close since the psus are not meant to run at maximum wattage all the time). plus, not all psus are guaranteed to be able to give you the maximum wattage given by the manufacturer, especially with lower end psus.
