Is this PSU Cooler Master RS-390-PMSR-A3 enough to power this card MSI R4850-T2D512 ?

PS Specs are -

System Type: Single Processor

Motherboard: Regular - Desktop

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5600+

RAM: 2 Sticks DDR2 800 SDRAM

IDE HDD 7200 rpm: 1 HDD 500GB SATA

DVD-RW/DVD+RW Drive: 1 Drive

USB: 1 Device

Fans

Regular: 1 Fan 80mm;

Keyboard and mouse: Yes

Edit: Correct PC specs posted.
 
Get atleast a 450W PSU from a decent manufacturer. I woudn't risk using a 4850 on that rig.
Also, you're using DDR ram and an older processor, they consume a lot more power.

Posted correct specs...does that change anything?

eXtreme PSU Calculator v2.5 gives me a Recommended Wattage of 249 Watts.

Get hold of the CM 460W at least, just in case u're low on funds.

For the requirement, a VX450 would easily suffice but just in case you wish to spend a bit more, you could get the TX650/Antec Earthwatts 650. :)
HX620 is priced almost the same as what it used to retail for 2 yrs back.

Always leave 100-200W headroom. Also, that calc. is just for reference purposes, although it does give you a good idea...

The VX450 is a good choice.You can also look at Antec ~500W or something from the CM Real power series. If you're looking to hold on to the PSU for a longer time, consider getting something better(higher W rating, 2x PCI-E connectors, etc)

Bottomline: Can't go wrong with VX450.
 
get corsair vx450

sapphire recommends atleast 450w for HD4850....dunno abt msi bt i thnk it shall be similar.
