Gtx 260 Superclocked w/ Quad - 520HX?

[dsijjin]

I had originally asked this in the wrong forum; sorry!

Greetings all!

This is the system that I'm currently on:

Intel Quad-Core Q8200
ASUS P5QL Pro
EVGA GTX 260 192 Superclocked
4GB (2x2) DDR2 1066 2.1v
320 GB Wester Digital SATA
1 LP DVD/RW SATA
Antec 900 Case w/ 4 fans
Creative X-Fi

A co-worker of mine has a Corsair HX520 for sale. I can get it factory sealed for $50.00. However, the wattage etc is sorta cutting it close. Is there any risk involved here? I don't want my ps to blow up, as I've have that happen several years ago.

Btw, I'm not really into overclocking. But please consider my headroom etc if I ever did.

thanks

You should be fine, though I wouldn't go for SLI in the future. With just the single card though, I don't really see a problem.

I've got Q6600@3.6GHz and 4870 on this PSU with not even a blip.
