Aye, Don't try it lmao!
I don't think you can even run 1 inside of a rig. http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardw...s-review.ars/7 Edit* I wouldn't spend that much on a GPU to put inside of your sig rig. Itd be a bottleneck. Maybe consider saving up some money for a new rig? |

no.
you'd be lucky to run any PCI-E card that needs a power plug with that. the closest thing i could find to that price range that would support CF would be something like: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817189005 but THAT is pushing the limits

I doubt you'll be able to even run a single 4850.
This should give you a rough estimate.  http://www.overclock.net/hardware-ne...-amd-wins.html

Going Broke Overclocking

A quality 550-650W would be more like what you seek with about 35a (amps) on the 12v+ rail(s)
The PS will need 4 6pin PCIe power connectors too! BTW, some Dell PS are far more powerful than the "Watt" rating so check the 12+v amperage... still you will need to up your PS anyway.

I'm using a 500w PSU on Crossfire 4850's right now. Seems to be doing wonderfully well!
