Can a ST50F PSU handle a 4870? Need feedbacks.

Looking at price drops of the 4870, maabot ang time nga mag less than 10K ni sya. This card will going to be on my price range. Now I have a ST50-F PSU. Im planning to buy a 4870. Can this PSU handle the Vcard?

I've seen forums bout HEC Raptor 550W failing on 4870. I've also seen a topic here in istorya bout his 550W psu failed on 4870.

my hec550w runs my 4870 and c2q on V8 and 4 drives and several fans. i think if im not mistaken 450 is enough, 500 is the recommended. 550 will spare u some days on ure system's life and 600 will make u away from nightmares...
