I'm planning to go for a XFX HD 6870 graphics card for my desktop and I have a Corsair VS 450 power supply. Will it run smoothly in my PC or will it create problem? Shall I have to change my power supply? I know that the recommendation for HD 6870 is 500 watt. Please give me your valuable suggestions.

My system specifications:
AMD FX-6100 processor
MSI 970A - G43 Mainboard
8 GB ram (1600 MHz)
Samsung DVD multi-recorder
one extra cooler
WD 500 GB HDD

Generally, Corsair makes high quality PSUs. That's why you buy names like Corsair, XFX, Antec, Seasonic, etc instead of no-name junk. Since your Corsair PSU is equipped with 2 PCIe 6/8 pin connectors, it is another sign that the unit was made to handle that kind of output. A cheap 450W would only have one... or none.
