4850 is a 105w GPU. EA series psu is a solid psu. The EA500 can do 400w on 12v which is better than many generic 600w psu out there. Unless you do CF, EA500 should be fine.

When I bought my new parts, I had my self convinced that the power supply would in inadequate, but the TR2 is happily sucking away my power and running my rig. Great that I don't HAVE TO buy one a.s.a.p. and that I can wait until a decent price drop occurs.

That's a good price on the Earthwatts 650! I'd go for it. You'll never regret having more power than you need.

The EA650 has 45A on the 12V which is a little lower than it should be (the comparable Corsair has 52A). But, it performs just as well as the Seasonic built tx650 and the CWT built tx550: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=110. It may not look as nice as the Corsairs, but as long as the price is right I wouldn't hesitate buying it.
