I'm planning on getting the ASUS HD7850 DIRECTCU II GDDR5 2GB 256BIT AMD RADEON DX11.1 as a replacement for my old graphic card, can my OS handle it? my specs are:
motherboard - Asus M4N68T-M-V2.
Processor - AMD Phenom II X4 B60.
PSU - Gigabyte GE-C420A-C2
My OS is windows 8.
If any other information is required I am willing to provide it.

It is 420W but only 336 on the 12V from the one bad pic I can find. That might still be enough if you are not overclocking. it also says it has the needed 1 6 pin connector.

The card draws 150W max and normally closer to 130W. Your CPU IS 95W. IF you are not overclocking. If you dont have a lot else in the system...

The OS shouldn't really matter. But... You didn't tell us what your OS is. So. Little hard to check. Easy way, go to AMD.com and see if there are drivers for your OS.

If your on XP the card would be fine but modern games aren't necessarily going to run on XP.

Your PSU is far more important. Need to make sure it is powerful enough to run the new card

My PSU is the Gigabyte GE-C420A-C2, which I believe is 420W.

if you have the system loaded up and are running the CPU overclocked at high voltage a 7790 at 85W would be safer though.
