Before i voice my concerns ill throw my current specs out.

i5 2500k @4.5
gtx 460 @850/2000
4gb corsair vengeance 1600
asus p67 pro
raidmax 630ss psu

So everything works wonderfully rite now, but my concern is that i got a gtx 570 for a gift this christmas. I know the raidmax is a low end psu so im not sure about plugging that sucker in yet. From my research i see that under load in furmark full system load is about 460 watts with the gtx 570. Also my 2 12v rails equal about 44 amps.

Im broke rite now being after christmas (damn kids) so im not able to buy a new psu just rite yet. Looking for some advice about this card with this setup and if it will run safely assu,img the psu works as advertised.

Basically im just curious if this crappy psu will power everything for a couple weks untill i get a decent psu.

Im looking at getting the antec 650 green psu. It seems decent for $80 am i correct?

I ran with a raidmax 530 for 6 months but i didnt trust it for sli with my two gts 450s and an oc'd Phenom II 955. in your situation i wouldn't try it since both the 6 pin and the other 6+2 pin are on the same rail. especially with that overclock your runnin. itll prolly work long enough till u get a new one but itd be safer to hold the 570 off till u kno its gonna be safe. id suggest this seasonic http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151096. it'll handle 620watts while the raidmax will prolly burn out if it hit 600.
