1)1-Motherboard Asrock N61P-S http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=N68-S
2)1-AMD Athlon X2 5200+ Dual Core 2.7~3.0 Ghz http://www.amd.com/la/products/desktop/processors/athlon-x2/Pages/AMD-athlon-x2-processor-model-numbers-feature-comparison.aspx
3)2-1 Gb DDR2 667 RAM
4)1-Sata LG DVD Burner
5)1 Hardisk Sansung 80GB SATA II 7200RPM
6)2 Hardisk Sansung 320GB SATA II 7200RPM
7)2 Fans 12V generic in the case
8)2 fans 3 pins conected in the motherboard [1 for cpu(i know it original is 4 pins but this one is faster)1for HarDisk]
9)1 PCI Extractor Fan
10) here come trouble, this has been all workin with a Nvidia 9500gt ddr2-1Gb , but now i am upgradin it to a MSI Ati Hd 4770 512Mb Gddr5 Cyclone(box says requiere a minimal 400W PS)(http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=137&prod_no=1903), wich scares me couse use a extra 6 pins molex power connector,i already
buy it,for 105$, i dont have money for a 600W power supply, and please dont tell me GO AND BUY A CORSSAIR 750W, or
something like that, couse believe me ,if i have the money , i had already buy one.
I know this doesnt matter but i am usin Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
Soo, my Generic Power Supply 525Watts can handle all this with the new card? If it does, tell me YES, if not,tell

Please i need help, and some quick answer, someone who really knows help me
POS: I LOVE DOIN OC,i done it to my last one, could i do overclock to my new card i have seen some videos in youtube,still i wonderin if i do it with my power supply?
Yes it can run your rig. But, for safety reasons.
As some power supply’s don’t have good voltage regulation and can’t provided enough current, you should change the PSU to a big brand one with efficiency of at least 86%.
Especially overclocking, you want stable power.
Some power supply’s don’t have a rubber padding on the fuse. Blowing the fuse might start a fire.
hmm i probably tradidng it in for a 800 watt if yuou planning to use high powered graphics such as ati radeon 4870+ or nvidia gtx275 + and if u have other peripherals

Not really mate. Usually 600W branded PSU’s are fine.
But yeah, his CPU will be a bottleneck, if he had better graphics cards. As long as you can meet the max ampere requirements by your video card on the 12V rail and you have a cupple of amps left, its fine.
Most generic PSU’s don’t have active PFC (Power Factor Correction), this is important for efficiency, better for your house wiring and power bill.
Good brands will be: PC Power and Cooling, Corsair, Hiper, Enermax, Seasonic, Cooler Master, and alot more brands.
Check your budget and look up the power supply, manufacturer websites are a must and check reviews.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4362114&CatId=1483 , is cheap for my pocket xD(havin hard times) and still is a high brand, i think maybe until next month i can buy it, couse right few hour ago i buy the Video card,need to collect money again, with ur help, i will usin mine for a month xD THNX(does the link power supply will be a good choice?)no problem.. glad we could help
Yeah its a decent brand, but I don’t use them since they also make other stuff.
Try Newegg as they are damn good in US. That OCZ will suit your rig as its pretty high spec’ed by the manufacturer. PFC is close to 1 and 86% efficiency. Some time people use weight to determine the quality of the components. This is a great idea.
hes right..shop around and if you cant deciede ask the computer geeks at the store your going to buy your parts in for their opinion
