Lads,
Am thinking of putting in 2X4870s into my machine. Problem is I have an Antec phantom 500W PS. Reason I got it was it was "silent".

Anyway I have a X6800, 2 HDs a third will be going in soon, Sound card, 9800GTX, 2 DVD drives and 4 fans including the one for the heat sink running in the case. This all runs fine.

If I take out the 9800GTX will I have enough power to run the two 4870s.

Thanks.
