Well i wanna buy from a ''friend'' a 4890 (90/100€) but i wanna know if my PSU still handle the shit.

Psu have 2 rails of 12v, first one 16A, second one 18A.

Current i have a 8800GTS 512mb + e7200 @ 3750mhz + 4 gigs Ram + 3 Disks


Opinions? New PSU?

Will handle it absolutely fine mate. You get 36a on the 12v, which is more than sufficient (my Corsair VX450 only has 33a and I've got absolutely no problems with my 4870-1GB and a shit-ton of other hardware too, all OCed)

Well, the 4890 is £145 brand new, so if you can get it £55 cheaper? Yeah, I'd say that was a good deal and definitely worth buying. The 4870/90 is still a fantastic card and will pretty much eat most everything you throw at it (I've got the same CPU as you too, E7200 and mine is at 3.6Ghz, so I at least know what you could expect Very Happy)

Obviously it won't last you years, not if you're into pumping out max visuals on games, but for now and anything prior? Hell yeah!

Most definitely is a good buy, yeah. Still the best card available apart from the 5 series. Power supply should be more than plenty as well Cool Face
