According to the product details of the card it recommends at least a 500 Watt PSU but those requirements change depending on the rest of the system.

So yes it's enough to run the card but personally I'd go with at least a 600-650 Watt model to give a decent buffer for current components and future upgrades.

Actually, Radeon and Nvidia do take the rest of the system into consideration when they are recommending a minimum Watt PSU.

And i dont know about Raden, but i run a GTX470 on a 500W. While it being recommended to use minimum 550W.

Corsair helps you pick a PSU. Its not spot on accurate but unless you are running with 10 fans etc, it should give you the right picture.

Edit: Typo
