Can CM Real Power 450W handle a 4870?

TheNightwing · #1 (**permalink**) 30 Apr 09, 01:46 AM

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.

It will handle fine, Specs look similar to Corsair VX 450, lAnishl is running Quad @ 4GHz+4870+blah blah on VX450.

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