ASUS Radeon 6850 on 500w power supply?

[shinryu333]

I was wondering if the ASUS Radeon 6850 would be able to run on a 500w powersupply. Here are the parts:

Any reason why you would limit yourself to a 6850 with that PSU? I had a similar question and learned that a 500W PSU could handle a much more power hungry card than a 6850.

You're fine. A 6850 and an average system will probably only take not much more than 350W-400W.

A 380w Antec Earth watts can run a 6850 as seen in the Tom's Hardware system builder marathons.
