OCZ 500w is a quality bit of kit.....

It will take anything upto a GTX470.

People are WAY too conservative when it comes to PSU requirements and Gfx cards....

I assumed my Corsair HX520 would handle my 4870X2, but I got hardlocks until I bought a new PSU.

Well thats not surprising really is it.....a 4870x2 uses 150w more power than a 470 at max load.....

2 yrs later, its just about the most power hungry card out there...
