Sorry to ask same old Q! Just looking for reassurance/opinions!
Just a quick Q guys, sorry to be a pain and ask a frequently asked Q, just looking for some specific advice!
I currently have:
Phenom 2 x6 running at about 3.4gig
2 hard drives
PSU is an OCZ StealthXtreme 500w bought maybe 2 years ago
I'm looking to do some upgrades and add the following:
Radeon 7850 2gb (MSI one)
Samsung 256gb 830 SSD
Bit more ram
The Q I have is should my 500w PSU be enough to run the extra SSD and 7850? Or should I get another PSU? Been looking at maybe an OCZ ModXtreme Pro 600w but obviously if I don't need another one and can save money that would be great.
Any input much appreciated!:)

you should have no problems with adding a graphics card on that setup on the PSU.
I'm running twice as many hard drives, loads of fans. PII X920 and an AMD 7770 all on a 425w enermax. 500w is plenty.
only thing im not sure on, is whether you need 1 or 2 pci-e 6 pin power connectors for the card.
