2 8800 gts sli, x3210, 2 gigs of memory, 1 sata hardrive, ide dvdr, evga 680i mb, d5 pump, and 7 fans?
I have the same setup now but with only 1 8800 card and everything overclocked.
I wasn't sure if it was stable enough to handle 2 8800's.

700w minimum on that setup. I would not fully trust a 520w PSU.
Just to give you an idea on power usage....
everything that is in my signature, runs about 600-650w at full load. Thats with quadcore, and single HD2900xt. No way are you gonna get SLI with that.

I think you're wrong. The 520 should be able to handle it @ stock.

This is XtremeSystems.org, who runs stock anyways? :up:
But yeah that will run stock, and be taxing that poor PSU :D
