Hello, I am currently running an old-ish computer (2006 I believe) that I have upgraded (new case, PSU, and graphics card) and feel that I may need an upgrade to a quad-core and a new graphics card. System specs below. So I'm asking if my PSU can handle a GTX 460 or an AMD equivalent graphics card along with a Q6600. Thank you.

Motherboard: MSI G41M4-F

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5800 running at 3.7 Ghz

Yeah sorry, should've explained. The 450W is including a standard setup, like yours. I'll bet with the above setup you'll be in the 350W zone most of the time.
