It's actually more power than you need for a HD 6850 system.

OCZ ZS 550W Power Supply £45.85 still more than you require, but a £10 savings

are you sure, beacuse its such low power to run a great card. im asking coz im not sure

 

[WR2]

I'm sure. And AMD agrees.

AMD > Radeon HD 6850 Graphics > System Requirements > 500 Watt or greater power supply recommended

Rest of the system isn't mentioned
This high end overclocked system with a 6850 wouldn't put a 50% load on a 550 watt psu when gaming

[umar rehman]

what about the EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1024MB - is it as good as the radeon 5850 or worse.

HD 6850 is better by a fair margin.

GTX 550 ti is roughly comparable card to the HD 6770

 

[umar rehman]

so the sapphire 6850 will work on the ASUS P8H61- M LE/USB3 motherboard?

 

[WR2]

Yes, no problem there.
