Need a consult - considering a X1900XT

[Cadaver]

Will an Antec Truepower 430 (26A on the 12V rail) support an X1900XT along with this?

Winchester 3200+ (at stock 2Ghz)
2x Seagate SATA drives
1x DVD Writer
Soundblaster X-fi Extrememusic

I have a spare molex for the 6pin converter. My other option is a 7900GT. Will either of these video cards work on this system, or will I have to go for a new PSU?

System Requirements 450-Watt power supply or greater recommended

for a x1900xt

should work fine for that new GPU.

I spose the best thing I can do is buy the card, then get a new psu if the system becomes unstable. I think those power requirements assume a fully loaded system (e.g. overclocked FX) anyway.

Thanks.

Keep in mind even if you have a 500W PSU you don't want the system to be pulling 499W or you're gonna have problems. It'll probably manage but room temperature could play a big role in how well/long it lasts.
