Will a enermax liberty 500w be enough to power the following system?

Pentium D 920 @4.2ghz
2gb PQI turbo memory
x1900xtx (overclocked)
maxtor 160gb

Thanks

Yes it will

Need to be 100% sure. Anyway those psu calculators don't take into account on what rail the wattage is being delivered, nor the psu units efficientcy, so I was hoping for someone with experience of a similarly power hungry system, on a relatively cheap psu.

I wouldn't call the Enermax Liberty a cheap PSU and it will be more than enough for your system. I know there is a temptation to over-estimate requirements but that will be fine

Easily.

To get that kind of info (Rails, etc), a visit to the manufactures website will suffice (that & searching for the product here or Google). TBH calculators are good for when planning a build and or an upgrade. Gives you something to aim at
