Will this PSU do the job?

Will this thing last because I noticed it had only one 12V rail... Is that bad?

Power supply is too low, you need a bare minimum of 600w for an 8800GTS, so 700w is probably best.

Plus i have never heard of that brand of power supply, go for Hiper, Tagan, Antec or Zalman ect.

No it's 650W bc I changed my mind and couldn't edit my post.

I already ordered this... you think it will be bad?

It should be ok, having looked some more at that power supply it looks to be quite a decent one :D

No it will be fine mate, i can't really be asked to explain about rails, its long and 12.15am here lol.

That power supply will power everything nicely, it even has rounded cables so everything is neat and tidy.
