well if you need to find a gateway gt5040 comp online and add all its PSU usage up for me and then add the g card and see if its enough for a Silencer 470W ATX 12V power supply with 26a on the 12v rail

Yeah, sure, all day long. HD 3850 has a moderate power requirement, less than 50 watts. It would draw less than 4 amps on the +12V rail.

Your graphics card (ATI RADEON 3850) doesn't exist. The processor you have (Pentium D 829) doesn't exist. 024Mb of DDR2 ram must be a type-o or something. Need more details about the system to evalute the power it needs.

You'll need to know the wattage output of your new graphics card and everything else in your computer. Total them up and if they're less than 470 watts total you should be ok. If you get over 400 watts total from all your devices you may want to think about a bigger power supply.
