hrm... Kinda lazy, MNF is on, and I don't want to get up and go buy a new PSU however my 5850 just arrived arrived...

The question is Can the 430W PSU support it and my i7 920 rig... Also running Corsair H50 water cooling kit and two 640 GB Blu's.

Running an Antec True Power Trio 430w TP3-430

Each 12v line says it's rated for 16A and no more than 32 A combined.

Thoughts?

Of-course xfx recommends a 500W and 75W per PCIe line
 
For a single it might be ok. Only if PSU is high quality.
 
I personally wouldn't push it. Go for a decent 600W or even a 550W
 
it works fine, games look amazing. I reset the CPU to default speeds and im not running any stress tests till i get a new psu
