Enough Power

[DFinan]

Ok getting ready to build my new system on the bones of my old one, the old system is using an Antec TP 650

I am adding and MSI FX motherboard, AMD Phenom II x4 965, 4 Gigs DDR3 1800 I am looking at upgrading the video to a 5870 or a 4890 in about 2 weeks do I need to upgrade my power supply as well. The calculators I have used shows the above configuration (with the 5870) using 483 watts.

Thanks for any info.

Not unless you want 2 or more GPUs.

problem solved the local Frys has the Antec Quatro Truepower 1000 watt power supply on sale for 129.00. That upgrade should cover me for quite a few future upgrades will even cover dual cards should I go that way. Thanks for the info to those who replied.
