"Good" is a very subjective word in this context.It sure as hell can handle 6850 but you would be better off buying a Corsair VX450.If Corsair aint available then look for Seasonic 520W.

when you are going for a high end GPU, get a good PSU. else get a slightly lower GPU. going for a power hungry GPU & a value PSU isn't a good option.

core i-5 760 @ 2.8 ghz, 2 gb-ddr3 ram, 320 gb hdd, a h55pj chipset based board. .... amd 6850 is a mid range card i suppose ..........

Vx 450 @ 3.5k is the bare minimum for your rig. Opt for vx550 or seasonic s12 II bronze 520 @ 4.5k & 4.2k respectively.

See bro, if you absolutely CAN NOT spend more, then i guess you got no other option than the Saga II 500W.
If you can find one, get the CX400 not the CX430, will set you back around Rs2800 approx.

I had my rig on the CM extreme 600W for a few months,nothing really went wrong, so I am pretty sure nothing will really go wrong in your case too. :)

@ piyush might be but every one suggested 400 watt wont be sufficient for 6850,as such nw i upgraded to corsair vx450.......

@ rajan yup system reboot.......... the dump files point to driver failure ie atikmpag.sys
