Is a 520W Corsair Power Supply Enough...

[dmw16]

For the new build I am building.

The specs worth noting are:

i7 860 CPU
Radeon 5850
1xVelociRaptor HD
1x7200RPM 640GB HD
1xDVD-RW

I may do a little overclocking.

Thanks.

make sure you have the attachment that comes with it that converts molex to PCI 6pin, otherwise you will have to buy one or get a different video card.

The PCI-E connections on the 520 are already 6pin and they also have 2 more pins hanging out for 8 pin connections.

Surely they supply one with the video card? It only costs about $1 to make.

Why would he need one with that ps? It comes with 2 pcie connectors.

I had a 4870 before and I think it had the same connectors.

Thanks for the input.
