Corsair TX650W for this system?

[Aglet]

Hi. I'm buying a desktop computer from HP, and I'm planning to drop in a new PSU and Radeon 4850. I'd like to know if a Corsair TX650W power supply would be able to handle it.

The rest of the system looks like so (copied and pasted from the HP website). I'm very much a computer-building newbie, so apologies if I leave anything out or something.

Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual-Core processor E6300 [2.8GHz, 2MB L2, 1066MHz FSB]
3GB DDR2-800MHz SDRAM [2 DIMMs]
500GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive
Wireless-G LAN card
15-in-1 memory card reader, 2 USB, audio
Integrated 7.1 channel sound with front audio ports

a tx650w is more than enough for that system. you will have no problem other than overclocking if you ever want to

Thank you very much.

A Corsair 550VX should already be enough to power that system

A CX400 would be plenty. Or skip the PSU upgrade and get an HD4770.

Would a Corsair CX400W leave a lot of room for upgrading later on (say, if in a few years I wanted to swap out the GPU)?

I would go with the 650W if you plan to preserve it for the future.
