    so basically, power-wise, it absolutely would run it. almost twice over...but as blogins has pointed out, if you ever upgrade your gpu situation to a dual card setup with the need for 2 pci cables each, then you would have to resort to molex to pci-e adapters, which isn't the way to go.

    if you see that as a possibility in the next couple of years, grab the hx as suggested...

    Ahh shucks :blush:

    I agree with blogins. You are getting alot more PSU for 10 pounds. DO you have the two 6850 already? One single card might be better for the job and go crossfire later? Maybe somethinf like the 6950
