I would like to purchase a used HD7970 to replace my GTX550ti but I find mixed reviews about if my 500 watt PSU will handle this. If not I will go for the HD7950 and try to overclock (if I can with a 500 watt PSU). What do you think my 500 watt PSU can handle? Its a decent unit (enermax) and I have the two six pin connectors.
My PC is:
Asus P5K3 Motherboard
Quad Core Extreme QX9650 @ 3Ghz
8 GB RAM (1600Mhz)
4 Sata 7200RPM 750GB Hard Drives
