PSU good enough for ATI Radeon 5770?

[ZPep]

I recently got an ATI Radeon 5770 for my system, but the PSU probably isn't good enough.
I'm thinking of getting a 500W PSU, but would it matter which one i get?
The card came with a Molex > PCI-E connector so no worries on the cable or whatever.

Would any 500W PSU out there be able to run this card?
I would prefer not to spend like $70 on a PSU just to run this card.

Would this one be good enough?

What are your other system specs.? Actually a good 450W unit (like a Corsair VX 450) will handle that card quietly and efficiently..

Everything else is not very PSU Heavy
I already used the "Newegg PSU calculator" and it came to around 380 watts.
This is a pretty low cost computer. Basically hoping to get some okay gaming done with this new video card.
(Old one was Nvidia GT 240. Ran fine, even with overclocked CPU)

Asrock N68-S Motherboard with 1x PCI-E slot
AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9ghz, overclocked to 3.3ghz at stock cooling
Seagate 160GB 7200RPM 2.5" SATA hard drive (Use 250GB external hard drive for extra storage space)
Basic DVD-RW drive
2GB DDR2 ram (Will upgrade to 4GB later)

Will that 500W power supply that i listed be okay?

Well i have no info on Coolmax as a PSU brand.. I personally don't opt on cheaping out when getting or recommending a component as critical as the PSU.. If your prime criteria for linking the Coolmax PSU is it being a low budget option, then I'll seriouslly recommend you to shed out a few more and get a better quality brand such as Corsair or Antec.. Very many still don't realize this but as per me, the PSU is the most critical component of any build and no compromises should be made on its regards..

Don't waste your money buying the Coolmax. It's a low-end quality PSU.
From the site you linked, the cheapest quality PSU is the unit from Arctic Cooling. This's a good enough Seasonic PSU.

Anyway, that site is not the best place to bay a PSU. The prices are high and you don't have many options.

Since you are from Canada, take a look at newegg.ca:
The Antec Neo Eco 520C (by Seasonic) is a bit cheaper and good enough PSU.

Definitely not the Coolmax.

No to the Coolmax also you can find a much better quality unit for the money you are spending.
