Power supply for HD 4850?

[kaitanuva]

I'm planning on getting this Sapphire HD 4850: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102770

I'm thinking about getting this power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139003

Will it be sufficient? If not, are there any other PSUs that under the $50 mark?

Also, at about what temperature is the 4850 when at idle/load?


Edit: Decided to go with a Corsair PSU due to its great reputation as a quality PSU manufacturer...Even though I'm dishing out $30 more :( . Guess it's better than buying two PSUs due to one going DOA, right? :D

Not sure about the rest of your system specs, but that 450 would just about make it. Cutting it close tho. How about a 550 instead?

I know you're on a tight budget, but you'll be maxing out that 450.

My system uses very little power: I've been running a 8600GT OC on a 300w PSU for god knows how long.

Windows Vista 32-bit
AMD Athlon x2 5600 2.8 ghz
3gb ram
Just 3 80mm fans


I don't know, but with that 550w you mentioned, I could run a 4870. :eek: But yeah, I really don't have that kind of money, and I trust Corsair.
