Yes that PSU should do the trick. its the recomended PSU at the time. I just ordered that one for a 8800gts. for the GTX I might look at the 620watt version of the PSU. But I'd wait to see what others say as well.

There is no reasonable need for the 620w. The 520w will pair up nicely. Its a good choice. Power to spare when combined with the 8800gtx.

Sounds good. You would add up all the 12V rails for a total amperage.
