ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 Series – System Requirements

• PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard
• 450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended (550 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for dual ATI CrossFireX™)
• Certified power supplies are recommended
• 1GB of system memory
• Installation software requires an optical drive
• DVD playback requires DVD drive
• Blu-ray™ / HD DVD playback requires a Blu-ray / HD DVD drive
• For a complete ATI CrossFireX™ system, additional ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series graphics card(s), an ATI CrossFireX Ready motherboard and one ATI CrossFireX Bridge Interconnect cable per board (included) are required

...but take that as absolute minimum, from a high quality brand, on a non-OC'd system.

Also recommended is 28 AMP's on the 12 volts rails for stable power distribution (on a single card configuration)

Btw, you need 2 x pci-e x 16 slots on your mobo as well, for CF.
