Hello,
I wonder if the GPU AMD RADEON HD 6570 works on a 230 w PSU.
My current setup:
ASUS M2AVM (motheboard)
2 SATA HD (500 / 250GB)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200 + 2.7 GHz
3 GB RAM (2 slots/DDR 2).
I tested the "eXtreme Power Supply Calculator" and he told me that it would be recommended 234 W.
I will just run games such as - Dayz(maybe), Sim City(2013), AoE III, The Elder Scrolls(III, IV and V), Saint's Row: The Third, etc. .
Thanks!

The thing is, there has to be enough allowance. Just like HDDs. HDDs get super slow when capacity is almost maxed. There has to be some room to move. Same thing with PSU. Especially because electricity behavior is very unpredictable and volatile. There are spikes every now and then. Also, PSU manufacturers would use lesser grade materials for lower capacity PSUs. So to ensure the rest of your rig won't get fried, just get 500w. 750w if you're planning to upgrade your system. And also, get one from trusted brands. It's worth the extra money.

Thanks "mhtsgr9"!
In the stores I'm looking for, the HD 5450 is not in stock, but I suggest 430/GT GT 420(I live in Brazil) , so I took the test in eXtreme Powe Supply, and he gave the following results:
Minimum: 171 W
Recommended: 221 W (these results with the GT 430)

The AMD Radeon HD 5450 is better than these?
