Hello Im new to this forum, but not new to system building. This is my first post and a very important one at that.

I am ready to buy a new graphics card but i dont know which of the two i should purchase. I would buy a 470GTX if i was more confident in my PSU (Antec 650w True Power Trio.)

Question:
Should I buy a 470GTX or a 5850 having a 650w PSU?

Note:
I really want to be safe and not be worried that my computer might self destruct :x

Thank you! the links provided the information i needed to correctly gauge whether i needed a new PSU or not. After doing other research i came to the conclusion that i dont need a new PSU; getting one will be necessary in the next year though.
Specs:
Core i5 750 OC @ 3.4 ghz
DDR3 2000mhz
P7P55D
Antec 650 True Power Trio
2x Western Digital 500GB Black
