Dont worry mate, it'll run fine. I'm running my 4890 w/ a E8400 on VX450, both have been OC'ed.

Absolutely no issues man. It's a very reliable PSU.

I've run 4870 CF on a VX450, not encouraging you to do so - but yes 4890 will work

Thanks for clearing my mind guys.Now iam going with ATI HD 4890.Can u guys tell which version or which brand is better(I wont OC myself so a branded OC is better).

Do 4890 have lower power consumption than HD 4870 rite?

^^Sapphire HD4890 1GB looks like a good choice to me.Does it has good cooling solution iam a bit scared of this

The stock cooler is fine if you are not into overclocking. Maximum temps of 70-80 will be witnessed if you play games like Crysis.

Some more info on the card :

Phoenix is selling ATi cards. Highly recommended.

For ATI, Sapphire is the best.

Hello,

I have VX450 PSU connected to an APC 500 ups. (which will handle max 350 watts).

I am planning to connect a Asus HD 4770 GPC to my system.

Other devises alrady connected is Dell 24" Ultrasharp monitor. (will take 40watts), two seagate internal HDDs, 2 DVD RWs(internal).

Can I use this configuration? or when mains power off, will my UPS 'explode" ?

Why would you make a blanket statement like this?

Based on what did you draw the conclusion?

See my config, I am also running on a APC 500VA and my monitor is 15" CRT (65W). No problem yet. Buy if you have money, get a 650VA to be safe. That 500VA APC also has a good resale value.
