Pushing it tbh. Consider http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-007-TG&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=393 or something like the 400W FSP Sparkle if you aren't bothered about the modular design. Both are equally reliable units.

Ok but i've heard of other people running core 2 duo's just fine on this power supply i guess i'll save for the corsair then.WOuld upgrade in time anyway just wondered if i could run on this until i got the corsair.

I think it'll do the job for a while, though the lifespan may be shortened due to it being at almost full stretch for a lot of the time.

If you're after a Corsair, I say stick with it for the time being, then.

well not sure yet corsair 620 w a tagan or seasonic
no idea whichis best for £100.
i feel sorry for my old trusty pc parts when upgrading
like an old sheepdog that's had it's day take them
to the barn and blow the mother away.

TBH the 520W Corsair will easily do the job and also be fine for a DX10 card should you eventually wish to upgrade from the 7600GT.
