Do I Need More Jiggawatts?

[RobH]

Ok, I'm currently running an X-PRO 500W power supply (it sounds like a QTEC but is actually a high quality PSU as anyone who has owned one knows). I am using it on the spec in my sig. I am about to upgrade to the BFG 8800 GTS 512MB (TWO Offer), my question is do I have enough power to run this card?

Thanks!

Yes, you need one point twenty one gigawatts!!

Seriously though, your PSU is more than fine after having seen the spec.

You can run it, but only it you channel a bolt of lightening into the GPU

Thanks for the help guys, ordered it earlier today which was a mission. My visa card was rejected by the processor. After trying several times I called my bank and was put through to the fraud department who said that OcUK was blocked and had been blacklisted for online orders due to fraud in the past. Seemes strange because I have had no problems ordering in the past, I ordered a 24" display from here in October. I managed to phone my order through in time for next day delivery though so I'm happy (apart from the cost of the calls to order it & call up my bank).
