paulktreg Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 The 4870 needs about 150W, add that to 100~150W for the rest and 500W is more than enough. You may have a problem with PCI-E connectors because later versions of the OCZ StealthXStream 500W shipped with only one 6-pin PCI-E connector and you will need two?
