Yeah, it should.

BTW: For a few bucks more, you should be able to get a 7900gt for around that price.

Umm yeah the CPU has enough power but what is the MAker and some specs maybe what kind it is.Becuase it may hae enough juice but not the reliabilty so it will just burn out.

Sounds like you have enough.. If not, get a ps with an extra 100 watts to what you have.. thatll do the trick.
