The 9800gtx will be paired with a simple Sempron 140 setup.

Alright thanks guys, I wasn't sure because I was looking at Ceewi's Power Recommendation Chart and it said 450w =/

That power supply will run it fine, total system power consumption is extremely objective.

It should be fine, however nVidia recommend min of 450W.

I'll quote an employee of an nvidia partner without revealing the company or their name. They said something along the lines of "The wattage is only there so that we can tell somone that XXXW is how big of a power supply you will need. As, obviously we cannot say that "Just because the label says __ amps doesnt mean it will provide it", and we do not sell power supplies so we cannot recommend a power supply brand to a customer". They worded it a bit more eloquently than that, i wish i still had their exact quote around. But they are basically there to be "idiot proof".
