Hi, I have a corsair 520w modular psu and i recently - came today - bought a 4850

I'm really pleased with its performance and would love another but I was disappointed to find that 550w is the minimum.

Would 520w be enough? or is 550w a bare minimum? thanks for the help.
 
Bit more than slightly, it's basically a what if every component was running absolutely load and then some. As it is, I doubt you'll even hit 400w load running 4850 CF. (or at least that)
 
Don't listen to blackheart. The previous two posters are correct, and in addition, your 520W Corsair unit is a very solid and capable PSU, and its ratings aren't exaggerated. It's more powerful than what most manufacturers would slap a 550W label on.
 
Yeah, You'll be fine! I've seen people running two 640MB GTS' on our PSU, I'm planning on SLI'ing GTS' with it.
