Just wondering if my computer can handle a radeon 5770

My cpu stats:

p.s I am buying a 600 watt PSU (Corsair)
this one to be exact
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX30800(ME).aspx

is this a good psu?

If i get that psu will my computer be alright?


AND one last question... I have the choice of getting the 5770 or the 4850... Which is better and why?
 
A quick Google search shows that your system does have a PCIe 16x slot.
In conjunction with your new PSU you should be all set!

Just make sure to fully uninstall your display drivers before installing the new GPU.
Also, if it is possible, disable the IGP in your BIOS to free up some RAM and ensure there are no conflicts.

As for the PSU, it should treat you fine.
Corsair's PSU line is quite solid.
 
also, you only really need a 380w antec psu to run that card, anything more is way overkill unless you think you want to upgrade to a more power hungry card in the future. You could probably save yourself some money on the PSU and get a better GFX card, like a gtx460 and a 450w good quality psu.

I love my 5770(s), and a 600w will be more than enough. You might be able to run two 5770's in crossfire with that psu. I would stick with the 5770 because it is a little faster (i think) and only one generation old as opposed to two.
