Can a 430watt PSU power a 7800GT? well for the time being before I upgrade

[TheGoat Eater]

So I am going to get a 500watt or 600watt PSU but in the meantime can a 430watt PSU power a 7800GT - I have 2 optical drives and two HDs. any help would be great thanks

Really depends on the ampage on your 12V line. I have a 450W OCZ Modstream and it powers my 7800GTX overclocked just fine.

Thanks a lot knowing that makes me feel better about running it until I get some more money to spend on a great PSU
