HD4850 with 300watt PSU

Here is my PC.

Pentium D (overclocked at 3.0 GHz)

3 GB of RAM running at 215 Mhz

250GB Seagate SATA HDD

300 Watt PSU (the one that came stock with this HP) so Im assuming its good.

Do you think I can run the HD4850 fine with this PSU. Hopefully being able to max out fans and overclock

I would really like to avoid getting a new PSU. Im all out of money.

Too late now.

So yeah Im running at 1600x1200 at 75mhz.

So anyways will the PSU handle or not?

Last time i checked the 4850 uses around 250watts at full load and needs around 12V rail @ 24amps(i have only seen these numbers in good 450W PSU and up), so id say no. glez13

An entire system (cpu, mobo, ram, hdd, etc) + a HD4850 draw around 250w at full load.
