mobo=intel DG41WV(pci-e 1.1x16)
ram=2 gb ddr3
gfx=geforce 210(31 watts max power draw)
1 hard disk 250 gb seagate
psu=250w non branded without 6 pin
1=the asus gtx 650-e(60w max) does not need an auxiliary power connector and draws its power from 75 watt pci-e slot
2=my question is that if i add gtx 650-e to my rig will it cause much load to the psu...........
3=which is the cheapest psu for this card.......
4=will this psu run with this card=(http://www.homeshop18.com/iball-marathon-500w-peak-gami...)

1. Yes. It can be compared to an HD 7750 from AMD.
2. No, as you've already pointed out on #1 it cannot draw more than 75W.
3. I don't know, maybe an FSP PSU if you want to go cheap. Still worth investing in an 80+ PSU though. Try SeaSonic 520W.
4. It will run that card yes.

It's not a well-known PSU in my parts but based on wattage alone it will run it.

500W is enough to run that card if it has a 6-pin power plug. Consider HD 7770 as well, which also requires one and is not far from the GTX 650.
