i bought a corsair TX-750 PSU and i am getting a 9800gtx+ next week and i was wondering if i could use that PSU until i get the graphics card.

i am asking this question as i have read that PSU work better with a balance of power coming from +12, +5 & +3

my set up -
MSI P45
Corsair TX-750
2GB DDR2 800 Kingston HyperX CL4
msi 6600
Seagate 320 Sata
WD 120 IDE
Creative Audigy
Leadtek DTV2000H

TX-750 is way more then enough for your setup
You could have gone with any corsair psu with 550w and up if you plan to stay with a single 9800gtx+
