Check this out..........PSU calculator would give you an idea how much your system needs. It also includes the latest 8800.

There should not be any harm in using a higher rated PSU and it will be future proof also. I am myself using an Antec SP 500 Watt for my AMD 64 3000 system for more than a year now. But only make sure that your UPS is not rated much lower than the SMPS. Of course, there are other things like power factor, actual consumption etc.

I think a good quality PSU of 500W will suffice since the trend in case of CPUs and GPUs is that later generations consume less power.

what would be the best power supply or UPS for a C2D?? of course also consider a good gaming card like teh 8800 coz that ll need a good PS or UPS
Describe properly what you want. UPS means "Uninterrupted Power Supply" which is used to provide power to the computer continiously specially on power cuts. Power Supply means the PSU or SMPS or Power Supply Unit or i shud say the power box which is inside the cabinet. Now what a game card has to do with UPS?

I don't know how much price does a PSU cost but what i bought- 450W ATX costed me Rs.1850 with fitting charges.
