I've just ordered the following, it should arrive in a couple of days and I'm pretty excited, however, now I look at it I'm not sure the PSU will be powerful enough? Can anyone confirm whether it should be ok or not?

What I've ordered...

Gigabyte GA M56S-S3 AM2 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.6GHz (Retail AM2)
Patriot 2GB PC2-6400 C4 Extreme Performance (2x1GB)
ATI Radeon HD 3850 512MB - PCI-E2.0
320GB Hitachi Deskstar SATA2 16MB
Samsung SH-S203 20X DVDRW - SATA - Black
Seasonic S12 II 500W PSU
Windows Vista Home Premium 64 OEM

I thought as much, it's just the recommended psu for the 3850 is 450w and 500w is pretty close to that.
