What PSU do you have?

Given the rediculously low TDP to performance ratio of the 7850 I would recommend it regardless of your PSU.

The GPU is supplied with a 2x molex -> 6 pin PCI-E converter so as long as you have two free molex connectors on a relatively decent 500W+ PSU you would be good to go.
