I like the idea of running multiple applications, CAD, photoshop, audio software simultaneously and quickly!..or even playing games and still have cpu cycles for other tasks like photorendering etc!

ou need 190watts at the 3.3V / 5V, so see what the power is at that. I was running a 400watt (210 at the 3.3/5V), now I have a 500watt (or 250 at the 3.3 and 5V)

So you might be able to get away with it, depends on what you add to the system in form of video, sound, etc....

Or just spend $50 and get a new 500 watt power supply
