what is the bare minimum psu to use for the ATI 4870, not talking about using a cheapo one but with the current ocz 500w run it or should I be looking higher? (wont have silly money)

system is an amd x2 based pc with 1 hd & 1 dvd writer, current psu is a 500w nzxt psu that came in the nzxt lexa case and I dont think it will cut it.

Thanx in advance

I ran two of them and a heavily clocked quad on a Corsair TX650, anything from a decent brand and about 500W should be fine.

Any quality brand around the 500w mark will be fine

it should come with all the correct connectors like 2 8pins for the gfx card, mind is frazzled with nights & small child so taking nowt in at teh mo. Ok would teh 600w version of this be better incase teh system wants more?
