At the moment i've got a Hiper Type R 580W psu and was wondering if it would be enough to power a 5850. I currently have an 8800gts 512 and i've found 2 reviews with the power consumption of each card and the 8800 GTS 512 requires 159W/238W (idle/load) while the 5850 requires 118W/254W (idle/load).

Would the hiper die on me as the 5850 only wants 16W more.
