Looking to possibly upgrade to a new system soon and looking at an i5 750 alongside a 5850.

Don't plan on adding a second graphics card and it'll be running 2 hdds and a dvd drive, nothing else.

Just wondering if a 500w PSU would be fine for this, I'm assuming so but thought I'd better ask :)
 
Heh came in well under 500w so alowing for inefficiencies I reckon it'll be fine.

(the link was dead but found the lite calculator on the site ok)
 
Cool, just need to try and justify it now :p

Apart from a stick of RAM and 2 graphics cards updates my current system has lasted 7 years now. And bar some slight annoying slowdown on the only 2 things I seem to play at the moment it's hard to justify the need to change, apart from the fact I want to :)
