^^ i dont think he is asking WHAT a PSU is... or where it is.
He is asking how much power does it take. I think you need atleast a 400w PSU for it to work, though im not 100 percent sure. You could google "Power Supply Requirements 8800GT" or something similar.

The 8800GT needs at least 24amps on the +12v rails.
And according to another poster from somewhere else it says
BFG says at least 28amps on the +12, Nvidia: at least 26amps +12v.
You need a better PSU than the one you've picked.

CoolerMaster, Antec, SeaSonic are all pretty good (according to personal experiences). All you have to do is add up the +12v rails to get your total amps.
Take a look at the specs page and do it from there.
Since you ask which one to suggest...don't tell that I didn't warn ya.
Aycramaba!

All of these fuckin post, all says you need a good watts psu where they they left out an important factor and that's the total amps. on the +12v rails!
Seriously here's one to look at.
Antec Basiq 500w

Graphics cards use between 100-200. That new radon 4870 X2 uses 280 watts of man juice.
