so im planning on buying the new HD 5000 series cards... specifically the 5850 i heard that it only consumes 155 watts max. so would my PSU be alright it has 28 amps on the 12v and has 85% efficiency or will i need to upgrade this to a 600 watt PSU? idk if i have the budget for both the PSU and GFX card since im only 16 and dont have a job yet but ill definetly be buying that card lol. im currently running a HD 4850 right now without any problems with a Q9550 Ocd to 3.5ghz and 2 DVD drives and 2 SATA drives. the PSU seems to be fine and its been one and a half years since i bought it. any ideas if itl hold up with the next gen cards or is it definetly a no go?
