Hi all, I just wanted to ask a quick question about a PC I am about to buy for mid level gaming.

I am planning on getting the ATI RADEON HD 5770 since I have read it is a very good budget card that performs well, however I am only planning on getting a 450W Power Supply & Case Cooling system. Will it be enough to handle the 5770 along with everything else?

Radeon HD 5770 (single GPU)

450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology)

The guys here at PCS rave about the Corsair 650w psu, so that would be a good choice if you can afford it.

Welcome to the forums!! if you read my specs below you will see that i am running my AMD 1090t and the 5770 on a 450watt!!! but yeah the corsair is the best and is by far the best deal around!

Up to you with what you want to do, i plan on gaming to the highest degree and its allowing me to do it.
