So I've just order myself a Sapphire 7970.. However, having just recently read that sapphire recommend a 750w psu for it I'm a little worried my 520w psu will not suffice..

I guess I could get a 750w psu, but it wouldn't be for a week or too and I was hoping to do some decent gaming this weekend. I was just wondering if someone could clarify whether my psu will be enough for that graphics card.. at least for a week or two anyway...

Thanks, :)

You'll almost absolutely be okay, with room to spare. See this:

The test was conducted with your exact video card in a LGA2011 (power hungry) system. If you have anything like this or likely LGA1155, you'll be fine. AMD rigs should be okay too.

Just to clarify, is it a good model-brand 520W PSU that you have ?

Great! Thanks for clarifying this for me guys :) I was a little worried I'd have to upgrade my psu after having only recently purchased it...
