Sorry, yeah, already have it, do I have anything to lose by trying it? If it doesn't cut it, I can always stick my 8600GT back in until I get a bigger PSU (which I would be getting at some point anyway, eventually I want to OC the CPU)

What would happen if your PSU can't cope with the load:
•bad 3D performance
•crashing games
•spontaneous reset or imminent shutdown of the PC
•freezing during gameplay
•PSU overload can cause it to break down
Sorry to say your PSU is not a trusted one, so replace it ASAP, to protect your components. Its a Tier 5 PSU. Not Recommend for stressful situations. May not be able to put out full rated power above room temperature, and may slightly fail to meet ATX specs.
