Hello,

I have been running GTS 250 1gb XFX on a DELL XPS 410 PSU(375Watts)
My question is, am I safe here? The card runs fine(I only play dota2 and HoN) and the games run smooth. Please take a look at the snap of my PSU and suggest accordingly if I should stay at this setup.

It states that the total +12v rail output is 30A which is definitely enough for a GTS 250

I've been running my GTX 260 off a PSU with only 26A on the +12v rails for nearly 5 years so I'd say you're pretty safe :lol: 

Nvidia's specifications on the card state that it draws 150W maximum and you're getting just that from the motherboard (75W) and the 6 pin PCI-E connector (another 75W)

Dota 2 and HoN aren't very stressing games so you're not going to be drawing too much power to stress your PSU

Thanks. I'd like just one more input from someone.
Also I was worried about 5 SATA 7200rpm hard drives in conjunction with the card.
