I am running following configuration

Core2Duo E8400@3.0 Ghz
Asus P5KPL-CM Motherboard
Zebronics Delta Series PSU 520W (12V rail 24A)
4GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM
LG DVD Writer
Seagate 250GB SATA HDD

I'm planning to add a ATI Radeon 4850 will it be possible to run it with the power supply i have presenty. Also, is some one already running a similar config?

If not what problems may I run into with the present powersupply and the graphic card added? Which power supply would be ideal to use and the cost?
