Enough Power? And Big Case?

Alright, do I need a 700watt power supply? For powering...An 8800gts, C2D over clocked *An e6300 to like 3ghz stable, air cooling*, 2gb ram, and a few hard drives.


And I have the ultra aluminus case. My 7900gs fits perfectly, with room to spare. How much bigger is the 8800gts?


Thanks

Click to expand...

700 is kinda of overkill but it's better to have extra than later having to buy another due to insufficient power, around an 20% bigger than the 7900gs
 
I tried looking on newegg, for detailed specs.

20% all around? Or just longer.


Thanks

Can I do well with a 600watt?
 
The official recommendation for a single 8800GTS is 400W with at least +12V@26A. You will have no problems with a quality 500W+ unit.
