Would this be enough to run?

How about my new setup? ASPIRE ATX-AS500

E6600 OC'ed to 3.4
EVGA 8800GTS 640MB
36Gig Raptor HD
250 Maxtor HD

Aspire usually makes low/mid ranged power supplies. I dont have the specs on that specific one, but i'm guessing it doesnt even have any PCI-E connectors.

I wouldnt trust that for a C2D and G80, especially when their overclocked.

Thanks...what brand should I be lookin into?
 
The label says it's an XP unit, but the specs, price, and model number on that unit are those of the budget HP series, a low quality Topower build. I know that these units have been mislabeled in the past, and it seems that they either still are, or that newegg's picture still hasn't been updated.

It will power the system in question, but honestly I'd avoid it. Take a look at the review here: http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=31. It received an overall 6.5, including a 5 for performance. Poor efficiency and ripple on the +12V rails.

As for the Apevia/Aspire unit ... don't even try it.
 
The XP units are much better. I will say, however, that:
  1. They're (much) more than is required for your system
  2. I still feel that there's better available for the price.
