HDD - FUJITSU MHW2080BH 80GB from an old laptop

http://193.25.112.104/images/mari/sursa-sirtec-high-power-eco-450w-1.jpg

I had a VTX Radeon HD 6770 that i sold and now i want to buy a Gigabyte GTX 760 http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4663#ov

Will my PSU be enough for the 760 ? Thanks in advance!

No you need at least a decent reliable 500w.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

This will also do the job , but the one above is better.

Thanks for the answer but XFX isn't sold in my country. Any other suggestions ?
How about:
Corsair VS Series VS650 - 77 $
OCZ ZS Series 550W - 77$
Seasonic S12 II 520W - 75$
Corsair VS Series VS550 550W - 65$
Or something else (maybe cheaper) from Corsair, Seasonic, OCZ, Antec or Sirtec?Thanks!

Seasonic S12 II 520W - 75$

George92 :

First choice would be the Seasonic S12II Bronze 520 followed by the OCZ ZS Series 550W.

I would prefer a corsair psu, ur system max power consumption peak is 400-430w, so choose a psu over 500w
Also check the +12v pcie rails ( minium 38Ampere )

Here are some quality corsair psu:

Also if you would wanna SLI gtx 760s in the future a 750w psu would be worth the money.

Hope this helps
