I was told you need a higher PSU since the card is high end and consumes a lot of power. I currently have this PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4H8... and my other specs are
I5 4440 Stock cooler
8GB 1600mhz 4*2
1 case light
CD/DVD player
1TB HDD
If I use MSI afterburner or some other overclocking software could I lower the power consumption to 75% or lower to make it consume less until I get a 650w PSU?
Thanks!

It does not work like that unfortunately.

Get the better PSU first.
