Yes, one HD4770 uses about 80w so 2 of them is only 160w. Which is about the same amount as a single mid-range videocard draws.

I used the PSU Calculator and it says I'll be drawing 292w on full load on 3.5ghz OC. Hmmm... not much headroom there. I could swap it out with my brother's HEC 500W Raptor if ever.

That PSU is actually worse then the Corsair CX400.
