5850 and my psu?

[Ernie101]

Hi,

I've currently got a 8800gtx and want to just upgrade the graphics card and was thinking of the ati 5850.

According to ati/amd website it needs a 500w psu minimum.
I've currently got a corsair HX520W. Although it meets the minimum W it doesn't meet the requirements according to this list of compatible psu's:

Seemingly it only supports 4870 tops (although i thought 5850 used less juice than the 4870)

Rest of system is:
E6750
1xDiskdrive
2xHD
5 case fans

You reckon i can use my current psu or is it a no go? (really dont want to upgrade)

Thanks

It'll power the 5850 with ease, cracking PSU's the Corsairs.

Great, thanks m8.
And while i'm here will it work ok with my old mobo its a P35 chipset?
And will my E6750 bottleneck it to much? Its moderately overclocked.

thanks

Whats it overclocked to mate? If its anything over 3ghz, your fine.
