For a few $$ more, why not at least 500 watt PSU, If you're a gamer, you'll be upgrading that videocard in months.

A better question might be who made the caps inside of it. (Japanese, Korean, or "other"?) It would really suck to plug in that 4850 only to find you can't trust that PSU.

I think TRUST is a generic brand for PSUs.

trust is a brand here in europe that makes low budget mouses keyboards speakersets etc. So no im pretty sure that psu wont exceed 20 amps on its 12v rails
imo get a antec earthwatt 380 if ur on a budget. or if you have more get a 500ish psu from antec, corsair or imo even coolermaster ( yeh they have some nice psu's)

ugh....

CAPS MODE ON:

YEAH IT WILL WORK!!!!! ITS A SUPER AWSOME PSU HECK!!! YOU COULD THROW IN A 295 WHILE YOUR AT IT... Since you lack the skill to read, and thus probably to notice sarcasm i will say it once more, but for YOU easy to understand.

THAT PSU WILL PROLLY BOOT THE SYSTEM HECK IT MIGHT EVEN RUN FOR A WEEK A MONTH A YEAR, BUT WHEN/IF YOU START DOING STUFF THAT ACTUALLY REQUIRES YOUR PC TO DO ''STUFF'' (NOTICE HOW I USED A NON PC TERM JUST FOR YOU) IT MIGHT GO BOOM! (AGAIN THE EPIC TERMS...)

You should buy a good quality PSU that at least has a PCIe connector. Corsair CX400 is a good choice.

Keyboards are one thing. They don't take out systems when they allow a power spike through. PSU are a bit different.
