But yeah, 200-250 for CPU, 220 for the card, 60 for the ram (4GB kit instead of another 2GB), then maybe another 120 for PSU and again that for board. Adds up quickly.
hmm, I dont think a 520 would do it... I dont know the power consumption for a 460 is, but I was just cutting it with a 650 powersupply.
