I would drop the psu down to a 600w if he isn't SLI-ing, im sure it would power a dual gpu card, correct me if i'm wrong

 

[darkorb]

well i was thinkin, since its dual core, 2gb ram, and maybe if he wants to get the 8600gt, or somthing like that, would 600watt be enough?

 

[mrapoc]

I think it would, well, wait for validation if I were you lol

600W would be enough but keep with the 700w tbh.
