Hey guys I'm just wondering if my antec 450w: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371045 can run an HIS IceQ 7870: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161404

 

It only has 1 PCIe adapter, would it be alright to use a molex? Would there be problems with it? (I'm not planning to crossfire it)

7870 requires min of 500 watt psu for the whole system so you'll be cutting it close

I would get a new power supply like a XFX Core Edition PRO550W because it requires a minimum of 500w. What are your specs of your build?
