Nope, just buy generic PSU with 450watt or greater and it will run fine...

I wouldn't risk it, I'm running a 4650 witha reliable but generic PSU, the ATI 4650 is only slightly better than the 8600.

250 Watt psu power?

WOW, that is low.

Pehaprs will run if you are running 5400rpm and core2duo below 2ghz.

But dude, this is so low is not even worth wondering, just buy another PSU.

I used to have a generic 250W Running a pentium 4 and a 7500LE, even with such low specs I was worried it'd crap out on me. Lasted 3 years until I upgraded, still works now, just not installed, I even ran my 4650 off of it for two days, it froze every so often and shut down but it never wrecked my pc or itself. Not all generica power supplies are junk.
