    Here's my current config:

    Proccy:AMD 4400+ X2

    Mobo: Asus M3A78-CM

    RAM: Corsair XMS 800Mhz 2GB x2

    Sound Card:Asus Xonar DX

    PSU: Cooler Master Real Power 450W. This one:

    Cooler Master - Ultimate provider of Computer Chassis | Cooler | Power Supply

    Can this PSU support the HD 4870? I know the CPU will bottleneck the card but I am planning to upgrade to a Phenom later. My question is,for now can the PSU handle the rig?

    I will upgrade to a bigger PSU later when I get the Phenom.

    For now the 4870 will have to do.In any case I am upgrading from an X1800,so the difference should be huge.
