Can 7850 run on a 500W PSU

[coolguy12]

So i'm gonna buy a 7850 2gb soon ( maybe in 2 weeks ) i just upragded my pc but did some noob things in that like purchased a wrong graphic card at then i didnt know about this site so did some stupid things so m gonna replace my 7750 with 7850 soon and the main question is will it work on a 500W PSU?

Other system specs

PSU : cooler master thunder 500W

amd fx8120 @ 3.1ghz

8gb ram

gigabyte 970a motherboard

I'm not into over clocking much so will it work on this PSU? ( i really cant change my PSU so this PSU is the only option i got )

While Cooler Master makes (typically) poor PSUs, yours should power the HD7850. You should definitely not overclock anything with this PSU installed.

ASHISH65 is correct that you should invest in a better PSU. I strongly recommend Seasonic (including PSUs built by them) and Corsair PSUs.

500 W PSU is fine as long as it is a "quality" PSU
Your system should be 350 watts or LESS.
The PSU you indicate is probably NOT one considered to be a Quality PSU. Remember your Total investment is dependen on the PSU NOT failing and wiping out your MB, GPU, GPU ect.

Try to pick a PSU in tier 2 - NO Lower than tier 3. Tier one would be great, but also cost a lot more.

Yes.
