CPU: Intel E5200 ( Will Overclock )
Optical Drive: 1 DVD/CD-RW Optical Drive
Hard Drive: 1 Samsung SATAII HD

No, that video card needs a 650 watt to run it correctly IMHO. Here is a list of great supplies:

Seasonic – Any Model
Corsair – Any Model
PC Power & Cooling – Any Model
Thermaltake – “Toughpower” Series Only
Coolermaster – “Real Power Pro” Series Only

BTW, the particular Thermaltake you have is one of their weak and low quality models, so that just adds to the need for a better power supply.
