I ran a Phenom II 720 unlocked to 4 cores at 3.4Ghz, ran two HDDs, 8GB of ram, and two overclocked 5770's that pulled 108W each at stock compared to the 7770 which pulls around 80w.

At full pelt running whatever GPU crazy benchmark the system rarely pulled more than 340W tops. That's with two GPUs.

A good quality 400W PSU should be okay for a single card but it has to be a good quality one.

However, if you are wanting a gaming rig then slapping in a decent 500W just saves any doubt and you are then good to go for a good while.

Truth be told most systems folks are running here could run just fine on a 500W PSU rather then the 1000W monster they paid $$$ for.
