    Like SiM said. It's not only the wattage you need to think about if you're going SLI or Crossfire then you'll need to make sure (since it's not a modular PSU) that it has the required PCI-E connectors you would need for that future upgrade

    9800 gx2 only uses 2 6pin pcie powers afaik, the psu has 2 of them

    if you need 4 for sli you can use a molex to 6 pin pcie adapter
