I have a 5750 with 6 1TB hard drives, 1 320 GB 2.5" hard drive and an i860 quad core all running off a 525 w power supply. Never had an issue. My battery backup does not go over 220w power draw in this configuration. The 5770 uses more power than the 5750 but not that much more. These large power supplies are for the big 150 watts cards and SLI. Not us little guys.
