Enough power?

im currently waiting for my cm silent pro 700w to be returned on rma and im running a spare corsair cx430 in my rig without my gpu at the moment (6850) Would the psu be able to handle a quad phenom and my 6850? i just dont wanna use my gpu and something wrong happens...for example not enough power lol

anyone?

Should be fine.

I'm running an overclocked E6750 and a 6850 from a 400w OCZ with no worries. One of those plug monitors has it pulling about 250W from the wall at full pelt.

The 6850 doesn't draw much power, something like 120W apparently. The CX is fine as it does 360W at 12v.

I think that must be the old CX400, the CX430 only has 28A on it's 12V rail, thus 336W.
