Hey guys!

I am getting a new mobo, cpu and ram.

this is what my setup will be:
-GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H AM2+/AM2 mobo
-AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane 2.6GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor
-CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
-7600 GT OC nvidia graphics card
-2 SATA regular hard drives

My current PSU has the following specs:
-350W
-12V1=10A
-12V2=15A

I want to know if i can stick a 8800GT in there with that PSU.

I also have next to me a 450W PSU but with only 1 12V rail, totalling less. It is as follows:

-450W
-12V=18A

Can i keep the PSU i have now, should i upgrade to the 450W i have next to me, or do i need to buy a new PSU all together?

THANKS GUYS!!!
 
They both are under what a 8800GT needs as a system whole. The 450W is short on amps. and the 350W is short on watts and amps
