Hi, i have an old psu and i'll be receiving Sapphire HD 7770 OC edtion. The model of my psu is atx-500w. i'm planning to buy a new psu next month but i want to try out my new GPU. Do you think it will run?
You can check my psu's specs sticker here:

From the look of it you'll have to use the molex/PCI-E adaptor that should come with the new card (it's a very old PSU so I'm assuming it has no 6 pin PCI-E leads), the HD7770 does not draw a great deal of power and most of what it needs comes through the PCI-E slot so you should ok.
What are the rest of the system specs BTW? If you're running a more modern setup off that powersupply you really do need to change it as soon as possible.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I'm aware that i'll be using PCI-E Adaptor.
Gigabyte M68MT-S2
AMD Athlon X2 260 @ 3.10Ghz
is this enough?
it's not that "more modern" isn't it?
