If its a Silverstone I heard they are noisy...I would try your PS first and see if it works, there's been a few reviews using the 8800gtx with 500watt PS and they worked just fine....

Ultimate Overclocked PC only needs 500W power supply

Do not forget to have a chasis that can support the length of the 8800. With this card, power and length support are two of the important factors.

Hehehe... I figured we would see you again for an 8800 GTX upgrade! Actually I had an eVGA ordered but cancelled it... I think we bought our GTX'es about the same time 1 1/2 years ago and spending another $1,000 (incl. PSU upgrade) was a bit too steep for me...
