6800 Go? Is this a laptop? Should have its own power brick then.
3.6 Prescott + 6800GT or 6800GS otherwise, I would suggest at least a quality 430 W.

And don't get a cheap one either, stick to the name-brands, for your own sake. Cheap power supplies put out just that- cheap power. Your motherboard will thank you. Antec ftw.

BTW- if you're mobo or you support SLI, I suggest getting a stronger PSU, the dual graphics cards need more power (I have 600w)

A 450watt Fortron will run that, even if you add 4 more hard drives. Go to newegg.com and search for 450 Fortron. Wattage means absolutely nothing, the brand means everything.
