Radeon HD 5770
Maximum Board Power: 108W (9 Amps from +12V rail)
Idle Board Power: 18W
Power Supply Requirement: 450 Watt or greater with at least one 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connector


You also have to take in account the cpu, fans and other components power requirement.

Yes it should. I heard of it running on 220W.

The 5570 is a low power (43 W max) card that's the best option for people who want to game without replacing their power supply.

Yes, if you aren't really sure about it then I suggest you get a new power supply. Incase :)

can i ask one last question please? if its okay, the required amps for HD 5570 i saw on the web is 24amps and my PSU has 12v1-15amps and 12v2-16amps, so is my GPU will only use the one 12v rail or the combined 12v rail?

The requirements take into account the amperage of both rails so you'll be fine.

Thanks for the replies, i just notice today that HD 5570 doesnt require any connector? so i just have to put it on the PCI-Express slot?
