I have this configuration :
I5 4670
Gigabyte b85m-d3h
Corsair Vengeance 4GB
1 tb WD Blue
NZXT gamma
Antec VP450P
Dell S2240L

And I want to buy a graphic card. The maximum I can afford is Zotac 650ti boost.

So will Antec VP450P can handle 650 ti boost with the other configuration?
If no then please suggest a lower Graphic card which can be handled by Antec VP450P.
Note that I won't overclock.

Yes since it's a very efficient PSU it will handle it. I would have been more worried if it was something "no-name" some cheap PSU won't deliver as much power as they advertise. But with Antec you can't go wrong. And yes the 650-Ti-"Boost" is a good bang for the bucks so good choice. However if you can to upgrade to a more powerful card in the future you'll most probably have to upgrade the PSU.

Lol! Don't exaggerate, it's fine for one card, but this PSU only comes with only 1 x 6-pin connector. Of course you could try to convert molex connectors for the second card, but that would be pushing it too close to its limit. Don't forget that PSU efficiency tend to drop over the years.

Don't listen to him, your PSU is highly efficient and won't have any trouble handling a single 650-Ti-"Boost". This card can't draw more than 150-Watt from the PSU anyways and the rest of your components don't draw that much power. If you don't believe me you can see for yourself:

Thanks mate for your reply. But can you please explain me a bit about these connectors which you are talking about in Antec VP450P. This would help me while assembling.

It's just that the other guy was talking about SLI (dual card setup) so that's something else.

All you need to do disconnect power from the computer and all other cables. Open it and seat the card in the PCI-E slot on your motherboard (don't be afraid to push hard to make sure it's properly seated). You need only 1 screw to hold it in place. From the PSU you need to connect the 6-pin PCI-E connector to the card, but you can't go wrong since there's only one connector that will fit and it's usually clearly identified as PCI-E.

Yes games should run well with this monitor. You will probably be able to use "high" settings in most games, except maybe the most demanding like BF4 or the new Crisys.

I would try to aim for the 650-Ti-"Boost" since it's more powerful if you can. But the 7770 isn't so bad and can run games too, maybe you'll have to lower settings more often than with the Ti-Boost that's all.

I think I wrote it wrong somewhere. I mean I have to assemble fill pc. I have bought all the components which I listed above and now just need to buy gfx card which will be 650 ti boost. So
I will connect 6 pin PCI-E to the card but where else do I need to connect wires from PSU?

Unfortunately I have no time to explain to you how to build a PC from A to Z. This would take way too long and there are already many guides and videos available on the web so you will have to do your homework. But here's a good place to start:

Okay no problem mate and thanks for your help. Actually I have build a computer almost 5 years back and at that time I didn't had a graphic card and had some local power supply. I am just not aware if these PSU are somewhat different to 5 year old ones. But I think I'll manage. Thanks again. :)
