Our Ask the Experts section has a question, this time from Kevin in Zaire who wants to know if his 650W power supply would hold up if he was to purchase an AMD Radeon HD 7870 GPU.

Q: I want to know if my 650W power supply will hold up?
I've got the following:

- Cougar 650W CM PSU
- 8GB DDR2 1333

I want to buy a GIGABYTE GV-R787OC-2GD as it is on special, but want to know if my little 650W power supply will be able to handle all of this.
