i CANNOT , quite simply cannot change my psu :( , if needed ill purchase a 5750 , but even that is a last resort ... please help me out ...

avoid the HAWK, your PSU can probably handle it, but why take the risk...

i had a QX9650,4GB RAM,500GB HDD and a 4850 on the CM 600W(same dual 18A rail), i was lucky that there was no big issue,but i changed my PSU anyway. SO its your call, it will probably "work" but it is a bit risky...just wait for some time, you will get many 5770s in the 2nd hand market,maybe you can save some money that way and get a decent PSU later?
