Will this PSU cut it for the Radeon HD 6950?

Hi,

Its about time that i upgraded my system a little.

Now as part of my budget I've included the following card:

and to save a little I've gone down the cheaper PSU road, of which I was thinking:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-045-OK&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1709

Now as I have read the card needs 500W, but am i sure on a OC i5 rig will I not run the risk of not having enough power for the GPU?

At the moment I have zero interest in going X-fire, as in that case I'd also need a bigger case hahaha!

thanks in advance

Pete
 
What psu have you currently got?

Most I've seen my system draw from the wall is 520watts during high demanding games or benchmarks.
