Yes it does. is 400 watts really enough for a 4850x2? because if so i will grab a corair builded 430watt psu from newegg for 29.99

 

[ghnader hsmithot]

my best requirement should be a good 450cf.Sorry about that.I didnt read the article fully.

well its a single card 4850x2 lol according to the online it takes more power then cf'rd 4850s?

 

[ghnader hsmithot]

around 330w at game loads.Not at Furmark loads.

Take 430W from Seasonic but I think the card will run about barely and since your trying to save up as much as cash as possible I'd go for Corsair CX 500 Watts. The seasonic will last you longer and has active PFC which is recommendable for high end GPUs such as 4850x2

550- 600 watts should do fine

these are the better cheap psu's
