You should get away with it, but not 100% sure.
Should be fine, the 3850s run on 1x6pin PCI-E connector so it should be fine. It would run on my 600w.

3850 is a 95w GPU, With CF scale and what you have, the OCZ 600w should be fine.

Thanks guys, I am going to use a spare 200w PSU to power the DVDRW and Fans. The Corsair is too expensive, the OCZ (last time I checked) was for $40 @newegg. So I am going to consider this upgrade and return my 8800GTS.
2x3850 is better than a 8800GTS, Right?

8800GTS G80 or G92. Here is a review of 3850CF vs. 8800GTS G92. Hope it helps.

The 600W OCZ can power it easily, don't use a second PSU. 3850 CF is only like 150W.

1 3850 uses like 1?? at full load, I heard

Edit:
1. I read that on an anandtec review.
2. 1??=100-something.

You should be fine to run everything on the 600 watt power supply. My Corsair HX620 does more then fine powering my whole rig, and it should be more power hungry then your specs you posted.

All Right then, I should be able to upgrade my pc now, and I probably will, if I still have that recipt for return...:swearing:

I'm running a more stressful system on a 550W Corsair (about the equivalent of the OCZ 600W). You'll be fine. Save a copy of your OCZ rebate form and the post office receipt. They're notorious for being giant d-bags about rebates.
