Hi I currently have a Q-tec 550W PSU.

Though the value is high I've heard Q-tecs aren't actually as powerful as they say on the box, or something.

When I get my kit up I'll be running 2 * 120mm T/take thunderblade fans, 1 80mm fan, 2 HDDS, 2 CD-ROMS, A 9800XT (because it has the molex connected fan) and an MCP600.

I don't think is really pushing it, I mean it sounds like a fair amount as a list but when you think it isn't much more than the average case.

The question is though, could I power the Maze 4-1 GPU off this? That's only an 80W pelt and all the reviews I've seen haven't mentioned using a seperate pelt PSU with it, I only seem to see them with 200+W pelts.

Basically, will the Maze 4-1 GPU's pelt kill my PSU?
