I was considering ordering the sapphire x1950pro as an affordable upgrade from my MSI x850xt, but was wondering if my psu will be able to handle it. I have a 420W TAGAN TG420-U01 PSU (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-002-TG). I can afford the card, but a new psu aswell is a little out of my price range....
I think the system in my sig is still upto date....

ok i just used the 'eXtreme psu calculator' which has suggested a 336W psu for the x1950pro with my system, 3w less than it suggests with my x850xt.
Does this sound right to you? Thanks for any help!

The X1950 PRO is less power hungry so yeah.
