    The power supply will *not* affect the output of the graphics card itself, not counting minor noise - although I don't think that'd be noticeable. That's only really relevant with sound cards.
    The power supply will, however, affect whether it works, particularly in SLI/Crossfire setups, which are power hungry at the best of times. If you're just putting a single card in, though, you should be fine, as long as said power supply has a PCIe power output. Which it should.
    That said, I would go for two SLId 8800GT cards for a little more than one of them unless there is a function of the GTS which isn't available on the GT.. Which I don't think there is. I may be wrong there, though.
    Disks are always full. It is futile to try to get more disk space. Data expands to fill any void.

    As long as it has sufficient power to support the card(s) it wouldn't affect it even if you did have SLI.
