Well, AMD recommends a 500 W PSU for that card..What is the brand and model of your PSU?

The specs just say 450W Quiet 80 PLUS Dual Rail PSU - the next option on the site is an FSP Raider Series RA-650 80 Plus (650W). Probably better to go with that then?

Does the site list any Corsair, Seasonic, XFX, PCP&C, Antec, Enermax, or BeQuiet 5-600 watt units? If so I would suggest one of them.

So the 'Quiet' part of the power supply in the specs doesn't mean it's a BeQuiet PS? There's a Corsair 650W Enthusiast TX650 V2-80.

Corsair 650W Enthusiast TX650 < Good choice.

I thought it would be. Pushes the price of the PC above what I wanted to spend, but never mind, better that than it not working! Thanks for the advice guys - I replied to a couple of you individually, so I hope you got my replies - don't want you to think i was ignoring you or anything!

Not anymore than a "Max" in the name means that it is an Enermax PSU.
