i think the same. But nowadays a good 500/550w power supply is not so expensive

The watt numbers have very little relation to how much a power supply can actually handle and are just used as a marketing trick. What's your budget?

The PSU should have ratings (in A) for the different rails (+3.3V, +5V and +12V) listed. In this case and generally, +12V is the important one.

it says +12v max 288 w or smth

24A is pushing it. You'd certainly be better off getting a better PSU with two +12V rails, one for the GFX card and one for everything else. I'm not saying it won't work though, it actually might.

500w is enough but not for sli, if you want sli you nedd 750w

400 is enough, but they vary a lot depending on manufacturers... just take rather a good supply with less watts than a bad one with more watts

400 should be enough if the brand is good...and you should give around 50-60€ for it. (atleast it's like that in croatia, should be cheaper in EU countries though)

Go for a 400W of a good brand (e.g. BeQuiet!, Seasonic, Tagan).
