I think the minimum recommended is 500 watts, so you should be ok. The brand is a good one, which is a bonus.


This is a refurb product and though the card is slightly more powerful at stock, when overclocked it should pull ahead substantially more. However, it won't be as power efficient or as cool and quiet as your original choice :

A similar model here, though this has a 'full' warranty. A fair bit over budget however :

im liking the look of the gtx 470

just dont like the problems some of the forum users are getting with these refurb cards

however i might risk it

how much better is it compared to my old saphire 5830 ?
